Well, it’s a good app. It does exactly what it says it does. Here are, in my opinion, the pros and cons.
Pros:
Simple. You can set it to tell you every 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 seconds the elapsed time
Works if you exit the app
Works if you lock your screen
Cons
Does not work with music playing. Music will stop and the timer will speak. Music will not resume. Instead, what should happen is the music should duck under speech until it’s done and then raise back to full volume
The voice is non-adjustable. It can’t be sped up or slowed down. It can’t be made louder or quiter. You can’t raise the pitch to its original, because believe me, that is not the original. You cannot change it at all, not even to a totally different voice, if you should have any installed.
Has adds with no way to remove them. They are unubtrusive though.
If the developer fixed some of this, I’d gladly give it five stars and recommend it for all my friends who run like me. I use this to announce how many minutes I’ve been going, and it’s really useful to have a reference when I’m at one minute, two, three, etc, then know whether I should speed up or if I’m on track to finish my mile in the time I want.
