I’ll fill this in more once I’ve used the app, for now I’ll use it to ask a question: why no Apple Watch app/watch face. Holding seems like the perfect time for a huge wrist mounted timer button that actually knows what’s next!

This app was worth the money. It really helped me visualize the hold & being able to check my work by using this app was a game changer. It made learning holds during my IFR training a lot easier. I highly recommend!
