Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Sports stopwatch with: • giant digits and adjustable theme (color, font, size, spacing, format) • control with both on-screen buttons and volume buttons • lap-timer • delayed-start (with audio 3...2...1... countdown) • screen lock mode to prevent accidental count stoppage due to splashes (you are of course responsible for ensuring your device is waterproof) Free, small, no ads, open source (github.com/arpruss/simplestopwatch). As a bonus, includes a giant number clock (swipe up/down to switch between clock and stopwatch). I made this so I could easily see the time while rock climbing at the gym 50 feet up. It's also useful poolside for swimming, and for other sports where you need to see the time from a distance (or close up, if you want).

Giant Stopwatch APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Giant Stopwatch APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is af6acba9db256c43f6341d3974b850d7.
