I believe the issues are: if you pick up the device to make a picture you cannot be sure the clock is still running, but also you cannot see how much time you are using.
I often use my iPad or IPhone to keep score, or as a clock, but if I am in a serious match in a tournament, I do not use that same device to take a picture for all of the above reasons.
That doesn't mean it is "wrong" to have that available in the same device or app...I think for most casual and club play it is a nice feature, and I really like a lot of things you have done with BG Buddy.
How comfortable would you be, playing an important match, if your opponent picks up the device that is being used to time or score the match and uses it for a picture or anything else? It just shouldn't happen in a serious match.
