Thank you for purchasing Dual Timer
INTRODUCTION
DualTimer is just two timers in one app. It has been in the App Store for nearly ten years and has many faithful users world-wide who rely on it every day for things like gym exercise timing, cookery and even concrete curing!
DualTimer has two separate channels. When the app starts, the user is presented with a START button for each. Pressing the appropriate START button starts that timer. Alternatively, if neither timer is running, the user may START BOTH by pressing the central button.
Once a timer is running, the buttons associated with that timer change their labels to reveal LAP and PAUSE functions. The functionality provided by these is shown below.
LAP
The lap function freezes the display whilst the timer keeps running. This allows convenient noting of the time at which a specific event occurred, such as a racer completing a lap. While either (or both) of the timers is in lap mode, its buttons change to RESUME and RESET - whose functionality is described below.
PAUSE
The pause function allows a timer to be paused - in other words, the display freezes and the timer does not keep running. Similarly to the lap mode, the relevant timer buttons change to RESUME and RESET - whose functionality is described below.
RESUME
The resume function takes a timer from lap or pause mode to once more reveal the running timer. In the case of a timer in lap mode, the resume function displays the time elapsed since the start which has been running in the background. From pause mode, resume starts the time from the moment when pause was selected.
RESET
The reset function sets the relevant timer to zero and changes the buttons to show a single START option. Note that if both timers are reset, the START BOTH function appears once more.
BACKGROUND OPERATION
DualTimer uses real time for its calculations so going into the background, suspending and resuming has no effect on a device capable of providing this functionality. Similarly, a device slowing down due to extreme activity or other poorly-written applications, will not affect the time displayed by DualTimer.
