About Photo Stopwatch
A timer for running events (or whatever events you find it useful for). Free to download and no adverts.
In addition to giving times and positions, photos are taken to capture runners crossing the finish line. The recording of times is given priority, so if a group of runners finish close together and the camera can't keep up some photo's will be skipped but times and positions will be recorded. Results can be shared by email/bluetooth etc..
Allows left and right handed operation and also control via volume buttons, camera button or headset buttons.
It's simple to use but try it out before using it to time an event to make sure it works as you require and try it out "in the field" to work out where to stand to reliably capture useful photo's of runners at finish line. For more details see the website

If you use it, whether it's for timing a race, a parkrun, a trip the shops or anything else I'd really like to hear any comments. Any feature requests let me know.
21st May 2013 - just realised there's a beta option in Google Play, if you want to try out beta versions join this google group https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/111118292718498335143
and you should be able to get a beta version from here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.mrdw.photostopwatch
although I'm not convinced it's working ... if anyone tries it out - let me know (only difference at the moment is that in settings the version will have beta in it e.g. "23beta")
If you like Photo Stopwatch, but aren't interested in getting updates to the app., or have a problem with the latest version then "Photo Stopwatch Classic" is worth trying, it is basically a copy of version 23, which has been reasonably stable.

First new release in a long time !
Photo rotation now preserves image size, rather than shrinking image. Test and select smaller image size if too slow for large images on your phone (this is only applicable for certain phones ).
Menu option during race review now allows images to be time stamped.

This is a great product which does exactly what it should do. Anybody saying otherwise is misinformed! We use this at parkrun alongside the stopwatches and it is great for sorting out errors. Find someone you know, count the people and time differences until you find the discrepancy, correct the error in the results!

I love this app and it is a great backup to my chip timing system. I don't know how realistic it would be but I do have a request if possible. Is it feasible to have an option to stamp the picture itself with the time. This would be great in offering individuals finish photos with their times on them.

Six Stars! Works in background. Perfect for the events I run-great bonus for the runners to see pictures too. Oh and nobody swaps numbers anymore. Brilliant.

Great application. Love the fact that it takes photos. Ideal to use alongside the existing stopwatches we have at events.

Very useful App, that works well, I have used a stopwatch app before for getting race splits, but most of them have the stop and reset button just beside the split button and it is far too easy to hit the wrong button when alot of runners come over the line together. Only slight change I would like to see would be more accuracy then just to the nearest second.
