About this app

Beautifully designed Stopwatch and Countdown timer for Android Phones, Tablets and Wear OS Watches

Ticking Sound, Countdown Alarm and Lap Time functionality

Notification whilst stopwatch running in the background on compatible devices.

To save battery the application itself doesn't run in the background, but it simulates it using system events.

Ratings and reviews

EDIT: I should have edited this a decade ago (sorry, dev) . Decent app, does what it says. Has some options, like sound for seconds, invert colors, lap times, etc. I had given it five stars, then dropped it to two when the dev got rid of the original app and replaced it with this but the dev made the original available again. I would add options for different watch faces (but that's me). Five stars for no ads (!), no unusual permissions, responsive dev and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Could you stop the display blanking when the Ultimate Stopwatch is open? Very infuriating to be timing an event and look down to see the display has turned off! Of course, to turn the display back on you have to touch the display to turn it on or to sign back in to the cellphone and touching the display pauses the stopwatch! The function for enabling or disabling the display blank should be in the OS API. Nice application; just turn off the display blanking, please. And, yes, give more color choices, please. Maybe a black background with red graphic for low light (astronomical observing, etc.) situations? Make the stopwatch available with the dark theme? User-selection of the color scheme in the Settings, of course

My only beef with this app is that I run a pomodoro app alongside this and there may other apps running eg watsapp threads. Sometimes i do not get an alarm at all despite selectingextra long alarm+ vibrate. It is though the app is low priority on my handset which is a bit of a pain if I cannot reply on the alarm actually going off and checking myself. @"geek you up" can anything be done about this?
