Make Your iPhone or iPod Touch a Stop Watch, Too
7:41 pm, January 15th, 2009, Lonnie Lazar

You’ve got to love Japanese developer Yuki Yasoshima, whose free stopwatch app hit the iTunes AppStore this week. The version of the app on sale in the US store is “English,” but nowhere in the AppStore description is a word of it actually in English, just the same Japanese character information found on Yasoshima’s website, which is also in, yes, Japanese.
Now, that’s confidence in your product!
Fortunately, Big StopWatch is dead intuitive. Not to mention elegant, graphically boss and accurate to the 100th of a second.
If any of our Japanese-savvy readers want to take a shot at Yasoshima’s app description, it’s appended after the jump. Please let us know what we’re missing in comments.

Translation:
Latest version: 1.0
This is a 60-minute count-up stopwatch. Green needle indicates seconds, red needle indicates minutes.
The entire screen is the start/stop button. Tap once to start measuring, and tap again to stop. While stopped, tapping the word RESET that appears on top right corner will bring time back to 0 seconds, and tapping anywhere else will resume the timer.

You know the iPhone comes with a Stopwatch built in, don’t you? You just go to the native “World Clock” app and you click on the stopwatch icon. Gives you lap and reset options. Much easier than this POS.

I much prefer the Engrish translation:
“Up-to-date version: 1.0 It is the addition type stopwatch of 60 minute meters. The needle of green color the needle of second and red indicates amount. The whole picture has become start [sutotsupubotan]. When the tap it does, you start measurement, when already the one time tap it does, you stop. When having stopped, if the letter of RESET which appears with respect to the right the tap is done, when it returns to 0 seconds, the tap does the part other than that measurement is reopened that way”

In case you are looking for an online stopwatch

The plain stopwatch is intuitive, but the preview shows it also doing lap/split times. I CANNOT figure out how to do this! Everywhere I touch on the screen either starts or stops the normal stopwatch function. Ther appears to be n way to activate the split timer.
How do I get splits!?

For splits: look at the general settings of your iPhone. The app installs a settings-panel in the default settings-panel on your homescreen (under the Photo-settings). Hope this helps…
