5/5Super simple and it saved my arse
First time I was was penalty box manager I had two jammers sit down within 6 seconds of each other—didn’t have to remember the rules, just had to hit the right color buttons. Hopefully you’re not with one of those leagues that insists you use the traditional hourglass rather than an app. Bring a power pack for your phone tho.

5/5Best app for penalty timing
I have been using a version of this app for almost seven years and have to yet to find anything better. It is constantly updated to the changes in rules and have always been solid.

5/5Takes the stress out of a stressful position.
I’ve been using this app for several years and it keeps getting better. There is no easier way to run a box. Now if it only did the paperwork.

5/5Derby penalty timer
Awesome app!!!

Sioux she · 31 Jul 2026
5/5Brilliant!!
As a new NSO and learning all the tips and tricks to running the penalty box, this App is a godsend. It incorporates the full Jammer rules, and you can turn them on and off. It's an App every Derby player, NSO, and Ref should have. The vibrate feature is wonderful! I havent had a problem with it yet. Oh and it is great for practice jams too. With the manuel time set function, you can start a Jam with a Jammer or Blocker in the box for a simulated ammount of time of your chooseing. Put it this way. You could buy 6 stopwatches; or spend the $3 on this wonderfull app. It's a win win situation. Just can't wait for an iPad version ;)
