A great tool!!!

Over all a great program especially for conditioning! I'm using it with an external speaker when I train or train others. It now even has a pause button! This app. Is a must 2 have!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE PAUSE BUTTON!

Ask and you shall recieve. I left a suggestion and the delivered. Well worth the price. This sofware will only get better because the listen to their users. Thanks for listening. IT NEEDS A PAUSE BUTTON. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET THE TIME. SOMETIMES WHILE SPARRING MY INSTRUCTOR WILL STOP US TO GIVE INSTRUCTION AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO PAUSE THE TIME. THEN RESTART IT AFTER INSTRUCTION.

Good Overall

Serves the purpose well. If I could make some changes: 1) Allow iPod use simulatenously with ap so you can listen to music and use the round timer at the same time. 2) Add a Stop feature so you can pause the round and not have to reset the round completely. 3) Add a feature for amount of rounds. When I'm doing intervals, I don't like to count what round I'm doing, but rather concentrate on the exercise at hand. Great app overall though!

good, simple software

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very useful software, but would be even better if you could set intervals shorter than 5 secs

Just what I was looking for.

This was just the app I was waiting for. Purchased Interval Timer also. Much the same, but having both allows for setting two different time sessions. Simple and does exactly what it needs to.

glitchy, and better + more sounds needed.

I use this app as a meditation timer -- on the zen setting. The sounds are very poor quality, and there is only one sound that plays that you cannot change. a quality meditation bell, chime would be great -- something with a little sustain to it. also a section like -- wood blocks, crystal bowls etc. Also about 20 seconds after the bell sounds, the app produces alarming popping sounds which go away, but are very disturbing. for 99c this app barely cuts it for now. who ever makes a quality meditation timer for the appstore is going to clean house -- this isnt it.

TA

... needs to count the rounds as well, or count them down.

Works well

Overall a great simple application. Very simple and allows short intervals. well worth the price. Things I would like to be added: Round Counter(count down) Customizable sounds

WOW

OMG ty ty ty. I was using the timer to count down during intervals and the stop watch to time how long I was resting, this app is fantastic. If you take suggestions here's 2 that can make this app perfect for nearly all circuit trainers which will probably net you more people to sell to than just a ring timer. 1) most times when doing circuits you'll be doing a few things, say, 60 seconds of sprints followed by 30 seconds of pushups, followed by 2 minutes of jumping rope followed by 30 seconds of pullups, followed by etc. Currently you can only really use this for a split. You can set the master timer for how long you want to do 2 things and you can have the "warning" go off when it's time to switch. Adding multiple warnings or even better simply letting the user set up multiple timers where each timer starts after the previous one stops would be best. That way a person could set it up for any number of consecutive exercises in a circuit followed by the rest timer. 2) you should let users set how long the app runs. Currently it just runs infinitely, letting the user choose by either number of circuits, or number of minutes would be great. Then the user can set it and just work out till it stops without having to count how many circuits they've done or worry about looking at the clock to see how much time has passed. That said 5 stars for what it does already, you've made my workouts so much easier!!!

A promising young app.

A much needed app in need of some improvements, but definitely worth the price as it is. The timer seems to stop once the auto lock is activated, so we'll see if there is a fix for that. Some different sounds were just added which was my number one gripe, so many thanks to the developer. This is a great app for workouts, stretches, etc. I'd love to see a variable round times option where you can set a bunch of different times for each round/rest period etc. For example: 1st round 2:00, 2nd round 4:00, 3rd 5:00 etc etc, then just loop back to the first round once it done one pass through. Either way, if you workout at all, I recommend buying this app.
