HOW TO GUIDE
Read below to learn how to get the most out of GO Stopwatch.
Start the timer by pressing GO!
Press LAP to add laps and splits to the lap column.
LAP = time between each tap
SPLIT = total time when the timer is tapped
Select laps in the lap column in any order to automatically calculate their sum in the top display. It also calculates the average of the selected laps at the bottom of the lap list.
Touch anywhere on the top timer display to deselect all laps.
GO Stopwatch makes it easy to time multiple athletes in each session.
Add from zero to eight athletes in any session by pressing the plus and minus buttons in the center column.
Assign selected laps to an athlete by touching the letter of the athlete.
View each athlete's laps by touching the letter of the athlete you want to view.
Laps recorded while viewing an athlete are assigned to that athlete.
You can assign a lap to mulitple athletes (in case of a tie)
Press STOP when you want the timer to stop. The average lap time is at the bottom of the lap column.
Reset the timer back to zero. Pressing RESET a second time completely clears the timer and all undo actions.
Press UNDO to undo your last click. You can undo laps, stops, and even resets!
You can restart GO Stopwatch two ways . . . with different results:
Restart by GO!: Continues the timer from when it was stopped.
Restart by UNDO: Removes the STOP and continues timer like the STOP never happened.
Press the pointing HAND icon to change the control buttons from right to left hand mode. Switch hands in an instant.
Change the THEME from light mode to dark mode by clicking the sun or moon icon.
To get to session hisotry, tap the History icon or swipe to the far left. In the session history view, multi-select, combine, edit, and share sessions. The history syncs over iCloud to all of your devices.
HISTORY DETAIL
In the history session detail view, you can edit metadata, color, icon, and more. Use the same powerful lap sum and averages just like the timer view. Share sessions in three formats including Go Stopwatch Sessions that other users can view in the app.
You can use the incredible GO Stopwatch Apple Watch companion app in standalone mode AND it can control the iPhone app. Swipe left and right for all three timer sessions. Swipe up and down or use the crown to view laps.
We want GO Stopwatch to be the most useful digital stopwatch. Here are the features we hope to build and launch soon:
Swipe top tile to launch simultaneous timer sessions. DONE
Multi-athlete support: time up to eight athletes in EACH timer session. DONE
Timer history: combine, rename, share DONE
Apple Watch: Standalone and remote control mode for all three timer sessions. DONE
Regular updates to improve functions based on feedback.
I made GO Stopwatch because it is the stopwatch I have always wanted as a coach. Help make it great for others. Please share insights, improvement ideas, or encouragement. Even a sentence of two would mean a lot to me.
