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 ## Similar extensions and apps - [Swipe Play Clock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1472278219) — 2.80 / 5 - [Play Clock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1672536267) — 2.00 / 5 - [American Football Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6743041280) - [BackJudgeBuddy App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1501141586) — 1.00 / 5 - [Coach's Clock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id455525937) — 4.60 / 5 - [StripeTime](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6757723055) - [Curl Clocks](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1332225921) - [Strike Clock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1009066519) — 5.00 / 5 - [Sports Clock Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6756943638) - [Flag Football Scoreboard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758020448) — 5.00 / 5 - [Final Horn](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6761404091) - [Clock Math Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6763410958) --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1470798163)
