Timing with two iPhones

SprintLens is a sports timing app that connects the start and finish, letting you determine a time from recorded finish video.

It gives teams a phone-based way to review close finishes and practice results that can be hard to judge with a stopwatch alone. It is designed for track, swimming, short sprints, time trials, club activities, and team practice.
