Roller Derby PenaltyTimer Free for Android
Would be useful to be able to change the background colour for control of contrast, and to have options for more than two teams for training sessions
When trying to start timing the lower jammer it tries to open a webpage instead. Uninstalled.
When I first used this app after downloading it worked good. I was able to set the time for the penalties. Now after the update, it won't let me change it.
Downloaded app in a pinch when asked to be penalty timer. Easily adjustable and efficient app. It would be good of the app can account for 4 blockers on the same team in the box.
I never work the box without it!
Timer default can't change difficult to us. No white and black colors
Really good, only improvements would be to have a quicker way to put in a double penalty, and also make the buttons bigger when in landscape mode
Just needs a black & white option for scrimmies
Normally I love this app...but lately my vibrate at 10sec setting keeps turning off and makes it very hard during Scrimmages!
Won't set to 30 seconds (New rules).
Vibrate @ 10sec keeps turning off
Very useful for NSOing at scrimmages. Would not recommend for use if phone has less than 40% battery charge
Too many defects for my taste. Too hard to enter multiple penalties. Can't handle 3 blockers.
Love this app on my Samsung Epic phone, but it doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet running Android 3.2. No timers or labels. Just get the start and stop buttons on the right. Hope it gets fixed soon. Would love to buy this. Edit: Latest version seems to have fixed the problem. Also includes the ability to edit the penalty duration, which will be an issue for the World Cup this year going to 30 second penalties (and for any league experimenting with this rule). Updated rating
This is an AWESOME penalty timing app! Color me as super impressed that it automatically accounts for the double jammer in the box timing rule...wow.
This will solve so many penalty box issues. Wish I could give it 6 stars.
Looks better than the other app I see people using. And that one isn't free! Works great.
Amazing
Used it for the first time today. Worked spot on. Up to 2 people per team or 4 in 1 team...
Awesome app for Derby!
The initial bugs have been really quickly fixed, and this is shaping up to be a great penalty timing app, including app2SD support.
Cool app for refs!!
When first installed, you get four blockers and two jammers. Awesome for one person running the penalty box for practices and mock scrimmage. However, if you go into the settings screen for anything (try to change the view style, team colors etc...) The two jammers disappear and you can't get them back without un/reinstalling the program. Appears, from the comment section, that it's also a problem with the paid version but I don't know cuz I don't wanna pay for the same problem I currently have for free.
Ad control. Awful.
Buggy. Advert in you way too often. Edit options fail. The app crashes too much. Issues need to be fixed before higher rating
Won't set to 30 seconds (New rules).

Option to add time for a secondary offense.
It is perfect for the nso.
It's a great and really useful app. Definitely the best Penalty Time app on the market, as it doesn't have problems with any rules. It used to have a totally crippling bug, but it's fixed now!
Seems to have gotten much better. Does what it should.
Accuracy of the actual times is horribly off. Get out a traditional stopwatch & see for yourself how wrong it is. Try a jammer-swap after 10 seconds & see how long till it releases the 2nd jammer (about 8 secs). Also, adding a 2nd minute between jams is broken.
This worked flawlessly a year ago but suddenly a floating ad now makes it unresponsive. Second team doesn't work at all. Freezes. Can't change options once you set it going even after then pausing and clearing everything, the button disappears. Will uninstall.
I downloaded this to test before buying the paid version and can't even test it out because a huge ad covers two skaters.
Annoying advertising covers up timers, screws up touching buttons, even intrudes in configuration. Why even bother making a free version in this case?
Does exactly what it needs to. Easy to use, clear graphics. Any newbie NSO can learn it in 5 seconds, and one person can manage the box easily. Where's the Derby love people? Don't downrate an app coz it's not perfect on your 1 of thousands of different android devices. 1000 people have download it, but 10 have paid 2.88 for it? Where is the love.
I'm also getting the ad covering two skaters sometimes. Just don't trust it.

Accurately times penalties and is much easier to use than a stopwatch.
