Perfect and simple stopwatch with lock screen display. Periodic alarms are a nice-to-have feature, too!

Cool I can't believe the only app I can find for timing my runs at the track on the lock screen is a BBQ timer. Note: Please add a reset button to the widget. Anyway thanks for the lightweight app!

Didn't know I needed it but now I know... This is a really good idea. Simple and unique. Please don't make a huge fat heavy app out of it, we don't like bloat. The alarm sound is really great.good thinking on that. Update..... The new way you enter your time is a bit wacky. I think I like the scroll method better... I seem to have a little trouble getting used to this.

Excellent app destroyed when you took away the scrolling timer

Simply doesn't work I set the period alarm to go off, so I could attend to my food. It never went off, never worked. One star, doesn't work.
