Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best app to hand-time a 5K with splits?
XC Team Timer is built for exactly this: one coach at a mile marker timing a full pack, with per-runner cumulative splits and automatic PR tracking.
Can one coach time 40 runners at once?
Yes. Runners are one tap each as they cross, and the app keeps every runner's individual clock and splits straight.
How do splits work?
Every runner's clock runs independently. Tap a runner at each checkpoint — miles by default — and the app keeps their cumulative splits: 5:57, 12:01, 18:42.
What happens if a call comes in mid-race?
The timer keeps running. Take the call, come back, and your times are intact.
How do I share results with parents and athletes?
One tap turns any result into a share card — a clean image with the time and splits, ready for the team group chat. Season stats share the same way from each athlete's page.
How do I get my roster in?
Import it from a spreadsheet as a CSV in seconds, or add athletes by hand. Next season, rollover graduates your seniors and moves everyone else forward — no retyping.
Does it work with no cell service?
Yes. Everything works offline — timing, results, rosters. Data syncs through iCloud whenever you're back in coverage.
Is this a chip-timing system for big invitationals?
No — Team Timer is for timing your team. Race organizers rent chip systems for the whole field. Coaches and parents can use this app to keep your own athletes' splits, PRs, and season in your pocket. If it's your team you care about, this is built for you.
How much does it cost?
Try it free for 14 days. After that, $59.99/year or $12.99/month (USD), billed through the App Store — the annual plan saves $96/year over paying monthly. Auto-renews; cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
