      • Track runner and programmer here. I just published my first android app 'Split Keeper' which allows users to calculate their splits for their desired goal time in any running event. There is also a stopwatch that can be used that dynamically calculates the target splits of your lap based on your goal time and time of previous lap. Come check it out!

        I did and nice idea. As with any app, always more wishes. More intermediate distances for workout splits, such as 500m, 600m, 150m, 120m, etc.

        Maybe you can have a drop down selection for input of distance that has user input?
        Your timer doesn't work correctly. When you hit lap, it stops the watch from continuing to run in background. When you hit lap a second time it resets the watch back to zero.

        Also, many of these stop watch apps use volume control for start and split times, as button is sometimes hard to locate as you look at start of race.

        Hope this is helpful.

      • Hey thanks for the feedback!
        Currently, I actually have it as a feature for the lap button to automatically stop the timer if it is currently on the last lap based on the distance selected, that way, you don't have to move your finger to the left button to stop the timer.

        Also, I never thought about the use of volume control to start and split times and I think it is a great idea. Will probably implement it soon along with being able to input your own distances.
