How long you will wait
I read that address in the evenings, so expect a reply within a couple of days. If you write during a regatta weekend it will probably be Monday.
What helps
Which watch you are on, which sequence you had loaded, and what the screen said when it went wrong. A photo of the watch is worth a paragraph.
Asking to be a tester
The app is on Google Play's internal testing track and not on the public store yet. Email the address above and I will add you.

Known issues

What is currently wrong with it

These are open and being worked on. They are listed here rather than left for you to discover.

  • On Do Not Disturb the tones are silent. The watch tells you so during the race, and every cue still reaches your wrist as vibration — the gun included.
  • If a cue is dropped or cut short mid-race, the app does not tell you it happened.
  • If Android blocks the foreground service, the app offers to send you to the right settings screen, but that screen cannot clear the block.
  • The display can stick 180° round. That is a fault in the watch rather than in the app, and the cause is still being chased.
