  6. v2.8.0iOS
    A major update internally, but with relatively few visible changes.
    
    2.8.0 now only runs on iOS version 14 or later, thus taking advantage of UI features only available in later versions of the OS and removing many former bug workarounds necessary for older versions. As a result, Watches should be more compatible, better performing with smoother animations and a more standardized UI.
    
    A lot of UI code has been rewritten for this release, so please let me know of ANY UI glitches or oddities (or any other issues too). There weren't any changes to the data handling, so shouldn't be any problems there.

    Recent Races!
    In one way or another, multiple people have asked to make it easier to switch between recent races. Either they are editing them, or they are tracking multiple groups in simultaneous races, or they want to set up several races for a day, and quickly access them.
    
    In the Main menu, I've added an option for "Recent Races", which shows the last few races. (You can easily add/remove them from this list) Then with two taps, you can switch back and forth between these races.

  12. v2.6.1iOS
    Thank you for your enthusiastic support! Here's a few bug fixes:
       Can now "Add new people" from "All People" screen
       "Select from Contacts" visible on iPhoneX
       Plugged minor memory leak
  13. v2.6.0iOS
    There is now an "Intervals (Auto Laps)" option in Preferences.
    When enabled, when you Stop a watch, and then restart it, it automatically records a Lap at the Stop time.
    This is designed for interval training (everybody does a lap, then pause, then another lap etc), each interval will then be recorded as a separate lap, and the cumulative will show the sum of all active intervals.
    You can restart with Individual start buttons, or All Start, or Staggered Start.
    
    We have removed "Force Touch" from the main watch screen, as it was sometimes being accidentally triggered during the excitement of a race.
  14. v2.5.1iOS
    Graphs!  (For both individuals and races)
    Full iPhoneX and 10.11 Support.
    No more Ads.

  15. v2.5.0iOS
    Graphs of individual and race performance.
    iPhoneX and 10.11 Support
    Removed Remove Ads/Donation request from  In-App purchase
    
    Requested improvements:
    Easier to delete multiple people or races.
    3/4 minute stagger times
  16. v2.0.5iOS
    Support for Interval Training (see below*)
    Converting "Remove Ads" to "Support Watches"
    Allows deleting photo
    Fixes:
      Black background icon
      Fixes iPad import of photo
      Column problem when importing CSV to Excel or Numbers
    
    *At the request of a coach, the latest version has better support for interval training.  For example, if you have a group that is doing 8 laps, with a brief break in between, then just start them the normal way, with or without using Staggered Start. As each person finishes, hit their individual Stop button. After the break, when you’re ready for the next lap, just hit the master Start (either Stagger Start or Start All) again.  Watches now recognizes this case (last button pressed was an individual Stop and then a master Start), and automatically record the individual times as Laps.
    
    This seems a very useful behavior across multiple sports, but if you don’t want it, for the last person, simply hit "All Stop" instead of their individual Stop button  Also, let me know; if enough people need it, I’ll make it a configuration option.

    The Ultimate Stopwatch 2.0 is a massive update involving almost all aspects of Watches.

       Eschews unnecessary margins in Notes fields
       Sorting by name now sorts by ... name

       Immediately reflects merging runners in UI (and avoids an occasional crash).
       Now avoids accidental time travel by preventing negative lap times in watch editor.
       All Stop should appear when it is supposed to (when all watches started, and at least one still running)
    For those who like to read release notes, it'd be great if you'd file a review (just go to the main menu)!

  22. v1.1.5iOS
    Fix for obscure crash, and new data model for next release.
  23. v1.1.4iOS
    Major bug hunting expedition; all known bugs terminated.
    
    Annoying gray bar gone
    Keyboard works in Notes field after leaving and coming back in
    Fix for a strange negative time possibility
    Saves more frequently during a race
    A few typos remedied
    Two obscure crashing bugs gone.
    To save battery, if you have more than 8 watches running on the screen at once, we now slow the screen updates down. This has no effect on accuracy; it's strictly visual.
    
    We're already working on the next release with several significant new features that are just about done. If you'd like to try these out, sign up for the beta test in  Help>Feedback Forum>Subscribe to 1.2 Beta.
    
    Finally, I don't want to interrupt your usage of Watches with review requests, but if you like the product, submitting a review is the best thing you can do for us! Just go to the menu and Recommend Watches.
  24. v1.1.3iOS
    Bug fixes for 8.0
  25. v1.1.2iOS
    Bug fix.
    
    If you have any problems or suggestions, please go to the Help command in the menu to leave us a note.
    
    Note: this release does not take full advantage of the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. It runs fine, but at the zoomed up resolution. Look for that soon.
  26. v1.1.1iOS
    A couple of minor requested features, and several bug fixes mostly related to iOS8.
    Lap buttons now show which lap you will be creating (aka which one the runner will be completing).
    
    Thanks to Asskdghdasdd for pointing out the problem in removing ads and ccolburn for an iOS8 issue. If you have any problems or suggestions, please go to the Help command in the menu to leave us a note.
