User Reviews

Users largely praise the app as a reliable, easy-to-use timer that is especially helpful for referees with a 25-second clock and watch haptic cues. Repeated issues include end game not clearing on the Apple Watch and intrusive health data permissions that disrupt Activity data, sometimes inflating calories and leaving the watch in exercise mode. A subset of users also reports needing to reinstall the app to fix watch-related problems. Overall, it’s a valuable field tool with notable caveats related to health data integration and watch reliability.

Pros

Reliable timer that starts and resets easily on both iPhone and Apple Watch
Works exactly as described with minimal problems
Helpful for referees with a 25-second play clock and watch haptic alerts
Easy to use on the field and generally provides a positive timing experience

Cons

End game not clearing or ending properly on the Apple Watch; the end game feature can be unreliable
Persistent health data permission prompts and intrusive requests that disrupt daily activity tracking
Inflated calorie counts and watch remaining in exercise mode due to health data integration, impacting Activity data
Some users report needing to uninstall/reinstall the app to resolve watch-related issues

Recent reviews

This is my second year using this app and I will say it’s amazing being the Referee with a 25 second play clock. I set my haptic setting in my Apple Watch to prominent and it works well for 10 seconds left and 5 seconds remaining.

Love it for the game but after the game it will not end game on my watch. And yes I scroll down and push “end game” and it still won’t clear off my watch. I have to delete the app off my phone then download it again for next game.
