Comments on Yacht Timer - Sailing Timer for Android
★★★★☆Kelvin Schmidt· Jun 25, 2020
Excellent God time sync. Can I set the line position from the phones actual position, by sailing near the two line marks Instead of typing them in settings.?

I loved this as race officer at our little club. I'm being very picky, but due to the lag with a blue tooth speaker you don't hear the shorter numbers... It needs s a little sound before the speech to wake up the speaker, so you can hear what she is saying....

Works well. The voice countdown is a great feature.

The app lacks a +1 feature which is a must if timer goes down under the full minute, If timer goes already to 03:55 you can't sync it back to 04:00.

Several bugs to be fixed Several bugs to be fixed before it may be trusted.

Can't see countdown Worked great until I installed firmware update, now I can't see the countdown clock. Using Google nexus 4 running 4.4.2. Would have given 4 stars if this didn't happen.

Am I missing something? All I get is a blank screen with Start, Stop, Sync and Clear on the bottom. What gives?
