3/5Fair Regatta timer with potential
Wish I could say I like this app. I use it regularly because it’s the only Apple Watch regatta time I’ve found… Pros: -It counts down… -You can change the number of count down minutes -you can sync down by minute But, I think this is very basic. Cons: -The app kicks you back to the your watch Home Screen when you tap the Stop button. Very frustrating after a general recall and you find you need to restart your app while maneuvering through the fleet to back to the start line… -lag time from when you raise you watch to look at the time and when the app “updates”. Missing: -lock mode? I find on occasion I’ve inadvertently touched my watch face and the app is closed… -rolling start -count down to a specified time (pursuit racing). In a nut shell: it works but lacks some very basic features.

3/5Ok as a back-up
Many things I like about app. Like the display of signal flags. Like ability to sync. On iPhones it is fairly simple. More complicated on Apple Watch. It only does count-down-count-up. Would like to see count-down-repeat (we do rolling starts, multi-fleets). Needs beeps for last five seconds of each minute. This gives a better chance to sync at even minutes. Jury still out, still learning to use app. Ok as a back-up. Three stars. Will re-evaluate at a later date. October 2018.

4/5Really good. ALMOST fantastic.
Developer Suggestion: Please update to fix the following issue with 3 min starts. In preparation for the first (3min) signal, I sync down to 3min and press start when the horn sounds. But if I sync down to 3min, and then lower my arm or the screen times out, when i raise my arm and wake the screen again the timer has reset to 5. Please make my chosen time stick even if the screen turns off before I hit start. Otherwise love it. Haptics are great. Would just love that 3 min fix.

3/5Should save the time after a reset, make the buttons bigger
I coach high school sailing and we do two or three minute starts. I also sail large boats with five minute sequences. It’s very frustrating to have to change back to 2-3 min after every start. Also, if you’re not going to make a force touch action do something, disable it. It’s very hard to hit start accurately when it’s so easy to activate force touch. Finally I am often using touchscreen capable gloves which work but the buttons are really small and very easy to miss when trying to start a sequence. Great start, with minor improvements it could be exceptional.

3/5Good but...really tough to start timer
Simple regatta start timer. Needs bigger buttons on screen, actually starting the timer I find really hard. Especially as you might have slightly damp hands juggling tilers, lines and sail controls. Once it’s going no problem, very good. Haptics are great. Alarm perfect.

1.1
Bug Fixes
1.2
* Syncing is now always 'sync-down' to the next full minute (several users requested to remove the 'sync up') * Beeps on the iPhone are now played also when only the Apple Watch app is active: you can now leave your iPhone in your pocket - just make sure to keep your Apple Watch awake. * Fixed a bug with the count-up timer (no resets when the Apple Watch awakes) * Other small bug fixes...
2.0
Regatta Timer for Apple Watch has been updated to watchOS 2 and now has far more capabilities: * the app now runs standalone on Apple Watch - no need to be connected to your iPhone * the app now runs natively & entirely on your Apple Watch, resulting in a better performance: it loads more quickly & responds faster. * the app now has support for sound & Taptic Engine (vibrations) on Apple Watch: alert beeps are played on Apple Watch & ‘taps on your wrist’ inform you how much time is left until the start signal (be sure to keep your screen on!) * the app now stays in the foreground, without having to alter your settings: during the start procedure, you just have to raise your wrist and Regatta Timer for Apple Watch will be on the screen (requires that you authorize the app to collect Health/Workout data) * Integration with the native Apple ‘Health’ & ‘Activity’ apps: your entire sailing time is now saved as a ‘sailing workout session’ and will contribute to your activity goals.
2.0.1
Regatta Timer can now be installed on iPhone 5.
3.0
Support for new watchOS 3 features: 1. Background beeps & haptics: Regatta timer watch now will continue to produce beeps & haptics when the app runs in the background e.g. when the screen is dimmed. That means that you know how many minutes/seconds are left until the start, without having to look at your watch! 2. Workout sessions that remain active in the background Starting a start sequence is logged as a sailing workout session. In watchOS 3 that means that your app is kept active in the background: when your watch wakes, regatta timer is immediately shown - and even when your screen dims, Regatta Timer Watch remains active, e.g. through beeps & haptics.
4.0
This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. Update for iOS 11 / watchOS 4 Regatta Timer Watch takes advantage of the improvements in watchOS 4: in countdown mode, Regatta Timer Watch now keeps playing beeps & haptics each minute (and each ten seconds in the final minute), even when the screen is dimmed (requires watchOS4).
5.0
* Layout optimised for new Apple Watch models (larger buttons) * Countdown timer remains active until start * Optimisation of the beep sounds * No more permission required to write data to the Health app (our users were not asking for this feature, so we removed the Health connection).
