About

Handball Referee keeps track of match time and score right on your watch – so you can keep your eyes on the court instead of on a phone. Built for referees, assistant referees, coaches and timekeepers who need a fast, simple tool in the middle of the action. HOW IT WORKS 1. Launch the app. The watch vibrates briefly and shows the version number. 2. Choose your language – it is remembered for next time. 3. Set the half length. UP adds a minute, DOWN removes one. Anything from 1 to 99 minutes. 4. Press START to begin the match. BUTTONS • START/STOP – start or stop the clock • DOWN – goal for the home team • LAP/BACK – goal for the away team • MENU – correct the score, change half length, change language, turn touch on or off, reset or exit TOUCH Touch is enabled from the start, so watches with few buttons such as Venu and vívoactive work right away. In menus, language selection and the time picker it behaves like the watch's own screens: tap the top to move up, the bottom to move down, the middle to select, and you can swipe up and down through the list or swipe right to go back. On the match screen the display is used for goals only. The left half is the home team, the right half the away team. A faint vertical line shows where the two zones meet. A goal takes two quick taps – a proper double tap in the same half. No waiting and nothing to hold down, just tap twice. That way a jacket sleeve or a brush against the glass cannot change the score. The watch vibrates briefly when the goal registers, so you feel it without looking. The clock is never started or stopped with your finger, only with the START/STOP button. The time is what must not go wrong during a match. If you want no touch at all on the match screen, switch it off from the match menu under Touch. The menu always opens by holding your finger on the screen for five seconds, even when touch is off, so you can never lock yourself out. On watches with buttons, a long press on UP does the same. WHEN THE HALF ENDS The clock stops automatically and the watch vibrates for ten seconds, so you feel it even in a noisy arena. The first press of START switches to the second half. The next press starts the clock. After the second half the time freezes so the final score stays on screen. CLEAR ON-SCREEN LAYOUT The half is shown at the top. Time is large in the centre – green while running, yellow when paused and red once the chosen half length is exceeded, making injury time easy to follow. The score sits at the bottom with the home team in blue and the away team in orange. LANGUAGES Danish, English, German, Swedish and Norwegian. The language is chosen on first launch and can be changed from the menu at any time. The app uses no internet connection, collects no data and needs no phone during the match.

What's new

New in version 0,15: • Touch is now noticeably faster and feels as smooth as the watch's own screens • Goals are scored with two quick taps – a proper double tap with no delay, no more holding your finger still • Menus can now be operated by swiping up and down, and swiping right goes back • Fixed a bug where perfectly normal taps were discarded because the finger moved a couple of pixels
