Top Android App: Ultimate Stopwatch

Ultimate Stopwatch is a graphical stopwatch and countdown timer.

  • Version: 3.1.2
  • Size: 229KB
  • Category: Lifestyle
  • Price: Free
  • Overall Score: 4.6/5



This app is great for timing or counting down to anything! The graphical interface is very appealing, and makes it rather fun to use. Previous updates to this app have improved the animation so that it uses much less battery than before. Additionally, the app can run in the background and alert you when it is complete (for the countdown timer).

To start or pause the timer, simply touch the stopwatch. The reset button in the upper right-hand corner will clear the timer and all lap-times. In order to record a lap-time in the first place, tap the bottom of the screen while the timer is running. Recording lap-times won’t stop the timer, so keep going!

To switch between stopwatch and countdown modes, just hit menu.

Pros:

  • Aesthetic user interface
  • Simple to use
  • Allows lap-time recordings



Areas for improvement:

  • No saved timings
  • Can’t perform multiple timings at once



Conclusion: Definitely a handy app to have at your disposal. Awesome graphic interface to boot!

    I prefer Ultrachron stopwatch and timer for android. It talks and you can set the timer by speaking to it!

    I prefer ultrachon as well, but this one just looks so darn nice and has a nifty interface.

    If ultrachon had beep intervals (beep every x seconds) it would be even better.
