About RC Timer
Race Committee Timer for Sailing race start timing.
There are two start modes. You can set a count down interval, for example 5 minutes. In addition, you can just enter the scheduled start time and the timer will count down toward that time. An interval time can be set in which case the start time will automatically increment by that number of minutes once the race start time counts to zero.
Here is a simple sound file. Modify to get what you want
3:30 three minutes thirty seconds
3:00 three minutes
3:45
3:55
5:00

Thanks for a very useful (and free!) app. The instructions don't say, but the timer will not work at all without the GPS on the phone being enabled. It took me a while to figure that out. Here in South Africa we pay prohibitive rates for mobile data (US$1=10MB!) so unfortunately this app costs me money every time I use it. Apart from that it works great and I particularly liked the ability to write your own sound file and customise it how you like. I would give it five stars if there was an option to run the timer off the phone's clock instead of the GPS. [Edit] Thanks for the response to my review. Now I can run the GPS all day without worrying about data charges, although the GPS (or the app) does use so much processing power that the phone actually gets hot. I now use this app every weekend and my friends have downloaded it too. I have upgraded my rating of the app to five stars.

Great app! Works as described. I initially had some problems with the sound.txt file. I contacted the creator, we exchanged a few emails and he provided me with a base sound.txt file and everything worked after that.

Been looking for an app like this for some time. Could REALLY use audible alerts

Really helpful app, will be outstanding when can work out how to do a sound file that calls out time to start @ regular intervals in the preceeding hour or so & counts down & sounds each stage of the start sequence. Question can it be set for a start sequence where it would perhaps flash/vibrate on each of the preceeceding say 10 second to a flag/ sound signal in a start sequence. If you are short handed RO and flag people could then keep on track more easily.
