Outstanding and simple to use

Lacrosse demands the full attention of players and timekeepers alike. For keepers, complicated Start/Stop versus Running Clock rules and the possibility of numerous penalties being served simultaneously means that most existing electronic timers have a flaw. Trouble is, its all too often a flaw that doesnt become apparent until the game is underway.

This simple app solves that dilemma inexpensively and, better yet, intuitively.

All controls are thoughtfully arranged and accessible to big thumbs, despite fitting in the iPhone/iPods small footprint. The result is that you can respond instantly to any referees whistle, and start or finish penalties of differing durations -- simply hitting a penalty button a second time to queue up another instance. Easily accessible configuration screens make adapting to shorter tournament periods, or variations in youth league rules a snap with this timer. That it keeps score too (and provides a simple way to back out erroneous scores without rotating through nine digits) is just gravy.

Whats missing? Id like to be able to configure brief, audible alarms when penalties expire and it would outstanding if this simple system shared data in realtime with one or more repeaters in someone elses pocket or on a wireless public scoreboard. But for a buck, this is great software that will replace a box full of dubious counters our league provides!
