User Reviews

SprintTimer is an affordable, coach-friendly timing tool that many schools use as a main timing system and for data sharing. However, reviewers report reliability problems, limited success with video features behind a paid tier, and gaps in automation. Some users also encounter hardware integration issues (Apple Watch) and Mac-specific bugs. Overall, strong potential with improvements needed in stability and feature completeness.
Pros
  • Extremely affordable timing solution that can replace expensive FAT systems.
  • Widely used as a main timing system for schools and clubs with good perceived accuracy.
  • Easy data export (CSV) and cross-platform sharing for scoring and records.
  • Active development with regular updates and positive feedback from coaches.
Cons
  • Reliability issues: glitches, freezing, and times/videos failing to save.
  • Video features often require Pro subscription and may not work reliably.
  • Not fully automatic timing; requires manual start and operator input.
  • Hardware/platform issues: quiet Apple Watch starts and occasional Mac version bugs.

I bought this app so I would be able to time myself without the assistance eof another person and I find that I’m unable to.

If you have a track team, get this app. I’ve been around tracks for fifty years. I’ve never seen anything else so affordable that’s even close. Works wonderfully. Every time.
