Would give a 5 if there was more control over the start. For example, if there was a manual control mode and also if there was a “stand please” sound would be really nice. Other than that it works amazing

You need to add more recent start noises! My swimmers sometimes get confused by the sound.

This app saved our summer swim league from dropping a thousand dollars on a starter system, at least for now. Would give 5 stars if there was a way to use the start sound and pre-recorded “take your mark” independent of each other. I like to have more control over the time between giving swimmers their mark and the start, especially for the younger swimmers.
