This app solved a serious problem with burnt out bulbs on gym scoreboard. Best app out there. It connected to both Bluetooth and wifi right away. App on a phone remote-controlled the main app (that is worth the $) on a tablet. Tablet was mirrored onto a 43" TV. Great portable scoreboard for under $20. Even if you figure in the cost of a TV, it was less $ than ordering a portable scoreboard from Amazon with a lot more functionality. Only wish I could set no rest period between quarters.

Thank you so much for your review, happy to hear the apps helped you! Regarding rest period between quarters, currently there's two options. You can press the "start" button to early exit the rest period, or two, you can go to the settings and set a very short rest period duration. Please email us if you have any more questions or needs. Thanks!

Great Apps. Thanks. May I suggest to make a single botton for Start/Pause of timer. I think it is much more convenient using it during running time. 😁
