Exactly what I was looking for

Simple to use, clean interface. The sample workouts were easy to modify to what I wanted, and I was able to do what I needed with the free version (so far).

Great app

Great app, thank you

Great app. Simple and effective

This is a great app. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now. It’s simple, clean and efficient. No bombardment of ads. No unnecessary fluff or flashy lights to distract you. It does what it claims. I highly recommend. To the devs, just leave it be. It works great as it is. Often times, trying to improve something just makes it worse.

Wonderful until it crashed this morning

Tried to find a way to reach app support but requires login.

Have been using the app, delightfully, for a couple of weeks. It has proven a game changer for my simple routine. Again, delighted.

It does save the data in a peculiar way, the time units get all fouled up. More a nuisance than anything, figured I was getting a lot more than I was paying for already.

Today it crashed… fails to open or opens to a black screen. Restarted my phone, looked in App Store for a possible update, uninstalled-reinstalled… fail fail fail.

Trust it’s something they can resolve by tomorrow! Not sure if I upgrading to paid version would resolve, no warning or known limited trial.

Input Nightmare

Tried using this app since I use the desktop version frequently with my laptop. Inputting information into this app was a nightmare. First of all, an account is required, which is odd considering I just want to use it for the interval timer function, but okay, sure. Inputting specifics for exercises that were not already preprogrammed was incredibly time-consuming and difficult, as the interface wants to slip and slide around as much as physically possible if you only so much as brush the pad of your finger on it wrong. Tapping and holding something to move it also activates the scroll wheel, so good luck getting your routine in order. I ended up getting so frustrated trying to get my stretching routine in order (didn’t even bother trying my workout routine) that I deleted my account and uninstalled. This app needs a lot of work.

Difficile a prendre en main

We made an update solving a bug there was with moving exercises around while editing a workout. Let me know if this solved your issue or if perhaps there is something else.

Awesome

Best HIIT timer out there as it lets you name your exercises then calls them out as you do them. Re-ordering excercises on iPhone is a little buggy though

Constant glitches

Freezes constantly. I can’t even read the help articles without it freezing & needing to be restarted. Also, the premium features I paid for don’t work.

It just isn’t functional for iOS 17.

Hi, we just released an update to solve this issue. The hanging was being caused by the audio. In the new version we added more stability to audio and speech during a workout. If this issue is still there for you please get in touch. Thanks!

Used to be my Go To

This app used to be great but has stopped stating the name of the exercise before doing it, I’ve tried everything in the settings but it doesn’t do it anymore. Without this feature it’s basically useless.

Response from developer

Hi, we just released an update to solve this issue. This issue was being caused because the the voice starts reading 3,2,1 before it finishes the whole exercise name. In the new version the exercise name is read 2 seconds early and we improved how audio works. If you have very long exercise names you can also increase the rate/speed of voice from app settings. If this issue is still there for you or you think we can do better please get in touch via email and we can discuss. Thanks!

Landscape in IOS??

Is there a landscape option in IOS? And can you link it to health?
