ChaoTimer Released! (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch Timer)

Just wondering, but what does the timer use to sense the knock on table feature? the microphone? Just wondering

The accelerometer, or it's the obvious way to go. I tried making an app for a metalsmith friend curious about how many hammer strikes he does for a single piece and wondered if there was a way to utilize the microphone to count that... in short the audio processing is annoying and prone to false positives, instead I used the accelerometer and it was much more manageable.

Cool! Thanks!

Actually, I use gyroscope instead of accelerometer, however some kind of the same.
 
oh. How does one work?

Just got a suggestion for it - (Borrowing a friend's phone who had this app right now) - Maybe make it so that you can view your session times. I would enjoy that feature, and I can't seem to see how (If it is possible, my bad...)

I love this timer for mobile use, but it would be cool, if you could include this features:

- Graphs ('Cause who doesn't love them)
- Export options (Export to PrismaTimer / qqtimer and stuff)
- Landscape mode

It would be amazing!
 
Ive been using this timer for a year, and it really is amazing. However after like 7000 solves, it started get heavy and slow. It's fine if I just change the session, but it would be nice if there is less sluggish.
 
I've benn using this timer for a while now and I'm absolutley satisfied with it... Sometimes I wish there was a landscape mode, but other than that, its the best timer I've ever come across.
 
I think landscape is only for iPad. I've had issues with it on iPad like not being able to stop the timer (never had the issue with my phone though). I would love csv export capabilities. The developer seems to not respond to any emails though.
 
Is there a way to change sessions? If not I would like to see that be added. Love this timer. Favorite app of all time. Seriously.
 
Hello guys can someone help me out? I downloaded the chaotimer and my friend played with it, but i have it in chinesse and i dont know how to get it back. Any ideas?

Yea.
First, go to "Stats". After that, click on the three bar symbol in the top left. Then click "New Session" in the bottom right.

Hopefully I remembered it right; I haven't cubed in a week, someone stole my cube :(
