Description
The most advanced sports timer in the AppStore!
Featured by Apple in the TV-ad "Strength".
SprintTimer is a unique sports timer and photo finish app that employs the same techniques as the fully automatic timing equipment (FAT) used at the Olympics. Start the timer and point the camera towards the finish line. The app creates an image where you can scroll to get the time for each competitor with a 0.01 s accuracy*. SprintTimer also includes a motion/human-activated Video Finish for longer races and a Start Sender for wirelessly controlling SprintTimer from another device.
SprintTimer is used by coaches, teachers, and athletes all over the world for practice and competition in, for example, track & field, cycling, skiing, speed skating, car racing, rowing, kayaking, horses or greyhound racing.
SprintTimer has several advantages over a manual stopwatch:
- One person can time all participants
- Higher accuracy*
- Easier to determine the order
- The image and the results can be saved
- Can operate "hands-free" when started
- The timer can be started manually, with a sound, or remotely from another device

Unable to self start
I bought this app so I would be able to time myself without the assistance eof another person and I find that I’m unable to.

Absolutely great
If you have a track team, get this app. I’ve been around tracks for fifty years. I’ve never seen anything else so affordable that’s even close. Works wonderfully. Every time.

Not FAT
This is not fully automatic timing and you should not be marketing it as such. Even the photos you are using as your examples are no where near the finish line. This is a joke and those that fall for it are nothing more then the jokers in a deck with no aces.

Great app
This is a great app, but I suggest a tweak which could make it even better.
I suggest adding the record feature to include the start (actually just prior) along with a function to slide the start time to coincide with the initial movement of the runner.
Currently, it’s either eyeballed or sound based, but either way determined by the operator’s finger tapping start.
Post start, Operator would then rotate the camera to line up with the finish line. Once the sprint is completed, the sprint time differential would be calculated based on the adjusted beginning clock time when the runner beg

Love this app
We use this for our home track meets. Started as the back up of the back up, then it became the back up, and now it is our main timing system and we use stopwatches as a back up. With a common start and such accuracy, I now cringe every time I see a team timing their meets with individual stopwatches. I have shared this with 3 other local schools who now use it at their meets as primary timing or a back up for their FAT system. No more scrambling to get high school kids or parents to time a meet!

Great Tool!
This is a wonderful app that replaces inaccurate hand held timers. I hope that the interface and ease of use gets improved upon. The Mac version is buggy but the iPhone version works great. Please continue to improve. Love this for coaching track. Will try out in our track meets soon.

Doesn’t work well with Apple Watch
For whatever reason, the Apple Watch plays the start commands extremely quietly, more quiet than the notification sounds. I’ve contacted the app developer and never heard back to address this issue.

Doesn’t work with Apple Watch
I tried to connect with my Apple Watch using the sprint timer then going to priv cloud, but it just says error. Furthermore, if I try to start it on my Apple Watch it just starts for no time, ends the recording and loads the recording until I close the app.

Does not work.
Glitchy. Record and what shows on my screen isn’t what shows on the tutorials. Frustrating.

Waste of money
This is a complete waste of money. It doesn’t keep track of times and half the time it does not save. Plus is very limited unless you get the pro version.
VagabondShu2022-06-15

Not always working
If you use this as the final result for a race, there is no guarantee that you will catch the whole event. When you go to saved races, it just shows a blank screen and no results. I’m disappointed.

Not great
No way to start video first, then use stop watch. You can’t get start of race on video...makes no sense. Scrubbing is at 2/100s, but find that it skips a lot and can be up to several seconds skipped

Great for XC meets!
We use this regularly for Cross Country meets here in Northern California (USA). We love air dropping the csv to a Mac for scoring and formatting for Athletic.net upload. An added benefit this year is that it helped with COVID safety. We put a sticky backed number on each runner's left hip and told the students to run through the line and head back to their team area (no congregating, no volunteers needed to work the finishing chute, etc.). We also posted the finish line photos for parents who couldn't attend due to covid spectator restrictions. Great app for the price!

Wonderful Photofinish App
This app replaces many thousands of dollars worth of equipment. We use it at our short track ice speed skating club. In photofinish mode we use it to time our races, which both gives us far better accuracy than we had with stopwatches, and also simplifies the record keeping. In “motion” mode we use it to give us lap times during practices. Hooked up to the rink’s audio system it automatically announces our times each lap. Brilliant!

I have used this in track and summer conditioning for two seasons. Now, I cannot time back to back races without closing and opening the app. It says empty video, nothing has been recorded. I have done nothing different. I want the old version back!

Coming from a coach, we use this app now to time almost all of our middle and high school home meets. We love it! Has made our job easier and requires no parent volunteers!

Cross Country/Track Coach
In my opinion this is the best app/app developer on the market for coaches. With the improvement of Apples cameras for their newer products this app makes professional level finish results. It follows similar guidelines that the FAT systems used professionally do. It is great for amateur timers on a budget and delivers unparalleled results for the cost. Would recommend this and many other apps from this developer to fellow coaches at any level. It allows practice sessions to be more like competitions and help prepare your athletes for better performances.

I love this app but now it is broken!
Edit: Day after posting review below, app was fixed and working flawlessly once again! Great work!
Thank you!
Just got back from a very frustrating track meet where our beloved Sprint Timer failed to work on multiple IOS devices including my brand new iPhone 7 Plus!
Please fix or revert this ASAP, even if some features need to be delayed. A lot of track folks count on this app, and some middle school programs are in the heat of their seasons right now. We start our championship series next week and hope it works by then.
I am anxious to re-review this very loved app soon, giving the 5-s

Great Program!
I am using this at an international track meet. It works great and the sprint starter is wonderful also. A few little tweaks would make it almost perfect. When marking the runners for times the scroll part sometimes is confusing. It needs a set mark button not just release.
