[REQUEST] apps for Crossfit

I was curious if one of you could develop what i think would be a couple pretty basic apps that would make the F3 a useful tool for Crossfit.

1) An AMRAP Timer. (Basically a countdown timer with a lap counter) AMRAP = As Many Rounds As Possible
So for example, the user would want to do a workout where he/she does as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes. The app would need to be able to set a 10 minute timer. While the timer is counting down from 10 minutes, the user would press a button as he/she completed rounds. The watch would then set off an alarm at the end of the 10 minutes and display the amount of rounds completed.

A couple of thoughts....
- the length of the timer would need to be something the user could set...10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.
- the alarm at the end of the countdown should use as many alerts as possible, audio, vibrate, flash screen, etc. but also be user selectable as to which ones to use.
- during the activity, you should be able to see the countdown timer and the number of rounds completed.
- would you be able to add a 10 second countdown before the timer starts. for example...once you press start on a 10 minute workout...the watch counts down 10 seconds to give you time to set up for the start. it would also be helpful to get a short audio alert on 3...2...1...and then a longer alert for GO.

2) An AMRAP Counter. (Basically a stopwatch with a lap counter)
This would function exactly like the above timer except that instead of a countdown timer, the clock would just keep running. When the user hits the stop button, He/she would want to see how many rounds were completed and the time it took to complete them.

Thank you for your help. please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. And on behalf of all the Crossfitters out there...THANK YOU!!!!!!

    What a great couple of apps! is there any way you could port this to the new Forerunner 230/235? I'd love to use these.

    Did the app change?

    Hello, I had the app for some months now. Was making room on my watch and accidentally deleted it. Put it back on and it was different. Before, on my Vivoactive I was able to have the timer with data fields and also GPS. It was shown at Recorder with a red circle on my phone. It initially showed as AMRAP before this.

    Please advise.
  • The app that showed up as a red dot with the name Recorder was my recorder app for recording activities. I removed it from the store some time ago due to bugs in the vivoactive firmware and I've never put it back.
  • Anyone here can provide guidance if there are any websites which offers some form of API for getting the WOD? I would like to Parse it for something I'm making to tell me what's today's workout.

    Currently I have AMRAP / TABATA and Round4Time rolled into 1 app. WOD would complete it I think. (also perhaps warm up and cool down period)

    Anyways - if anyone has pointers to websites, would be great.
