I was hoping there would be an app for it and this is by far the best one as you can sit your phone parallel with the chess board and I had the best Thanksgiving playing with my niece. So satisfying about the entire ritual of seeing your clock start making your move then starting the timer on your opponent. the colors are great there are countless timing options and completely customizable ones for rapid chest or for teaching and the audible click and smooth response are most satisfying. 5+

The clock works but there is no audible warning as time runs out. Sound is on, and the app makes a sound when the clock is pressed and when time has run out. There needs to be a warning - maybe 30 secends the 10, 9, 8... Also there does not seem to be an easy way to exit the app, the back button just brings up the dialogue for resetting the clock. Very annoying.

I like the fact that you can set any time format and time increment (you can chose between Delay, Bronstein and Fisher). You can also add 3 stages, where you will get a certain amount of extra time after a set amount of moves. Only thing I can't see possible is making for ex: first 40 moves to have no time incr, and then to get a X seconds increment for the next 20 moves and then a Y amount of seconds for the rest of the game. You can only have one type of increment all game.
