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.

We are glad you like it. Setting different increments is now possible in version 1.2.0 of ChessClock.

Perfect. No add. Simple to set. I use it for Board Games like Santorini where I set a Game of 1:30minutes with reset BRONSTEIN of 1:30. This allow each player to have a move time of 1:30 minutes that is reset automatically. Would be better if the color of the timer could switch from Orange to RED for the player that finished the time. (the very best would be to get a Blink also when the time is close to a definable limit. Exam:when time is 00:07 start blinking until 00:00.

nice app. one suggestion though. when the timer is expired, the sound is inaudible in a local tournament setting with slightly noisy room. better to have a ringtone play at the end of timer, or any other music with a stretched duration lod and clear instead of current single beep that's shorter than even the notification.
