There was always a big black border around the timer, which oddly only took up 50-60% of the center of the screen. All of the fonts had a rough '8-bit' look to them, and I was never able to get any full screen mode to work. Neau, I tried your Travis Timer, and while the functionality seemed to work reliably, the resolution was wonky on my MacBook. OK, so I have some updates for Mac / iOS options after trying some software. More to come after I've given The Poker Timer a solid run. I won't have another tournament for a couple of months, but hopefully, this will become a stable/long term solution. Also, the dev responded to an email inquiry about 2 hours after I sent it, so that is promising as well. The ability to save/recall multiple structures (without crashes/wipeouts) seems to be working as well. Structure setups are easy, full screen mode works, and the clock seems to run reliably. It's not as beautiful to look at as Poker Manager, but so far everything just works. So far, it has been easy to work with and it is just quick and snappy on my MacBook. After all of my recent frustrations, I said 'screw it,' and immediately paid for the full version. After my Friday mid-tourney-meltdown, I went on a hunt for reliable/good-looking software. I'll be staying away from Poker Manager for the time being. There are also a lot of negative reviews in the Apple App Store about this app's instability. Maybe this is just a glitch with the free version - but based on this experience, there's no way I'd ever pay for the full software.

When I reopened it, my saved tournament was completely wiped out. I tried to reset the level and the entire App crashed. I got everything setup for my tournament on Friday, and it worked perfectly up until the first break when, out of nowhere, the clock went completely haywire and started running negative. it has a beautiful interface, a remote control app to let you pause and control the timer from your iPhone/iPad, and awesome features with a super simple setup. This kind of seemed like my dream solution. Next up was Poker Manager by CocoaTree Applications.

this just looks crummy when projected on a big screen.
