Super helpful. Does what it needs to do without any of the distractions that other workout / interval apps have. Get it now. ### 5/5 — So simple and awesome! *2014-10-22, version 1.6* I love that they offer this free version which is as simple and as straightforward as can be. And a happy bright bold red to boot! :) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2014-10-19, version 1.6* Muy buena aplicación. Totalmente recomendada ### 5/5 — My top app! *2014-10-07, version 1.6* This app is my personal trainer!!! ### 5/5 — Life changing *2014-03-25, version 1.6* Krista keeps you motivated and encouraged. Good workouts in a small amount of time. You can't beat it. No excuses!! ### 5/5 — 5 star *2013-11-17, version 1.5* brilliant app, very convenient and useful ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app! *2013-10-14, version 1.1* Love the interval timer! Only one flaw I might see... If your are, like me, the kind of person to use loud music to motivate yourself, you are definitely going to hate those interval beeps. They are so loud I almost fall of my bike every time. A volume option would be great. Or different sorts of beeps. You know what I mean. ### 4/5 — Simple and helpful *2013-10-01, version 1.1* I use the interval timer and create my own personalized timed sets. There are audio cues that also work while listening to music on the same mobile device. I think the app would be improved if one could change the volume of the timers without turning down the music and I am not too find of the emails but otherwise good app. I will keep using it for sure. ### 4/5 — Great - would be better with audio cues *2013-09-13, version 1.1* This app is great for when you don't have time to do the popular HIIT training tapes, more customizable. A huge improvement would be if there would be audio cues so you can use the app without needing to look at it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-09-10, version 1.1* This app is great at being a interval timer. I like that it has both a audio cue and a visual cue for what phase your in. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No instructions *2014-07-23* No instruction on how to organise exercises to show.... Intervals yes... Videos yes... But when start , what do I do... Ummm that will be delete this app ### 2/5 — Average *2018-06-25, version 1.7* This would be a great app if it showed you your previous PB during the workout. Unless you know that it’s fairly ineffective from a HIIT training perspective. I would have thought that this would have been an obvious feature. ### 3/5 — Sao *2015-07-29, version 1.7* Sao không có âm báo chuyển vậy ### 3/5 — Lags out when I press for video *2015-02-19, version 1.6* I used to like taking this to the gym but when I try to see videos it throws me out of the app. Shame as a great app otherwise. ### 3/5 — 很棒的app，可惜没有提示音。 *2014-04-19, version 1.6* RT。 ### 4/5 — Simple *2019-02-24, version 1.7* It enough for my necessary to work out ### 4/5 — Very worth getting *2015-05-19, version 1.6* Very handy app and easy to use. Although the app closes whenever I try to open a video. ### 4/5 — Good for free *2015-05-06, version 1.6* Only problem is videos aren't working. So if you don't know how to do the exercise from written word you'll have to Google them. ### 4/5 — Simple & Funtional *2014-11-09* As Krista says NO EXCUSES !!! ### 4/5 — Good app overall, BEWARE the issue with sound *2014-09-02, version 1.6* This FREE app offers a good selection of workouts. I love that they're only 12 or 16 minutes but are still challenging. I was planning to purchase the PRO version, but won't buy it until the sound issue is resolved. There is supposed to be a "beep" which alerts you to the start and end of each interval. Unfortunately it only works through my bluetooth. After much research and several attempts, it still would not work via speakerphone. The workouts are too intense to wear my bluetooth so my workouts are less effective because I have to constantly look at my phone to check the timer. If you have a fix to this issue, please let me know. I will be happy to upgrade to PRO once this issue is resolved. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Out Just Fine *2020-12-14* Not the prettiest looking app but gets the job done Really Well. You can save your intervals for your various workouts. Simple and Effective ### 5/5 — :) *2018-01-27, version 1.7* It works ### 5/5 — Great!! *2017-11-16, version 1.7* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-01-18, version 1.7* Fantastic wee training tool, nice and simple to use. You're able to vary it your own workout. :) ### 5/5 — great *2016-11-16, version 1.7* ứng dụng rất hay ### 5/5 — HIIT timer *2016-01-14, version 1.7* Great app. I tried a few others first but this is the best by far. Easy to use and the ability to set your own intervals, rest and repetitions makes this ideal. ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-12-07, version 1.7* Freaking awesom app, useful and no bs. Just as good as apple ### 5/5 — Very simple, very good *2015-07-07, version 1.7* If you want an interval timer, this is perfect for the job. You can set your parameters (exercise time, rest time, duration of workout) very quickly. There are no annoying adverts. And it works. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-03-20, version 1.6* Works great! Everything you want in a fitness timer. I use the tibatta timer most - which is soooo helpful. I also love that you can play music over the app but still hear your beeps. My only criticism would be that the beep sound is quite shrill when you're using headphones, but otherwise it's a great product. ### 5/5 — Simply kick-arse *2015-02-27, version 1.6* Beautiful, simple design that makes it super easy to time your workouts and integrates perfectly with the website. Makes me want to go pro! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
