  • Excellent CrossFit Timer

    Great app! Works well on both iPhone and iPad. Might want HD version for iPad. 100% satisfied. Only timer I could find that would easily let me set up Tabata Something Else and other multi interval workouts.
  • would not buy it if there had been a 30 day demo.

    Use this app on Sunday for intervals while running a 1/2 marathon. After about 20 minutes, it sounded like the timer had started a second time, I kept hearing a second tone about 10 seconds after the first. After about an hour, it stopped completely.

    When it does run properly, the display does not shut off, nor can it be shut off via any settings, draining the battery.

    Overall, the more I use it, the more I think I wasted $2.

  • Volume problems

    Version 5.3 has an issue where when you select "Fade music" for the interval beeps, after a few songs it will fade the music down for the rest of the program and you can barely hear anything. I reported this long ago, as have others in the reviews. Why no fix? I have to try to remember to manually select "no change", but then the beeps are over the volume and it sounds bad. Further, it will not default to this and you have to reselect this choice every time.

  • Rave Review - Long Overdue

    I have nothing but praise for the application and the support provided. Everything I have asked for and more has been added or corrected. My current workout program (RMAX Tacfit) cycles through various timing scenarios and this timer fits the bill perfectly. I added an external speaker to allow a group to workout together. So my next request is to be able to select various warning points (midpoint, 10 sec remaining, etc) within an interval. Thanks for a great product. May be the best $2 I ever spent.

  • Audio volume ducks and doesn't resume

    A problem has recently developed wherein the application ducks the music volume for the ending sound of a set, but does not bring it back up to normal after the sound. I have to shut the app down to get normal volume again.
  • Great App--Works as Advertised

    In searching for a good, programable interval timer, I downloaded (and paid for!) a couple of so-so apps before I came across this one, which absolutely blows the others out of the water. It's completely programable, intuitive and--unlike the others I came across--provides real support and instructions. Creating and editing sessions is a breeze, and the interface is clean and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Seriously, drop the $1.99, program it to do what you want, and get down to business.

  • Great app!

    Fantastic App! Does exactly what I need it todo. This is way more configurable than the others I've seen. Imho, this beats the others - no question. For those hunting around for an app that you can configure to your needs, rather than adapting to someone else's workout schedule- start looking at this app first. I wish I had.

    A couple suggestions:

    1) Give an option to start a specified iPod playlist with each timer or interval, or just continue with the currently playing playlist, or no music. I like to randomize the songs to avoid monotony, but my warmup music isn't what I want for my training music. This will allow for quiet time during break intervals too.
    2) Choose interval warning sounds from iPod songs so I can make/import my own clean mp3's and use them for transition sounds.
    3) The fade out/pause music doesn't seem to work very well for me, so it's hard to tell if you support fade out when using Pandora as well. Maybe that needs a second look.

    Anyway, these are my top three sugguestions. This is a great app already- I'm looking forward to what you have planned for the future.
    Well done!

  • New version works great - an essential app for me

    I've used UltraTimer since it first came out and love it even though I prefer some of the older versions with easier volumn adjustments and fewer sounds to choose from.

    Thanks for all the updates and a great product.
  • Sound does not work - neither does customer service

    Ultratimer sounds stop announcements mid session rendering use of this product frustrating and maddening. You are left in the middle of a workout session NOT knowing what to do next without constantly watching the timer display. I find this product then useless.

    It seemed to BREAK in 5.2 release. What is even more maddening is CUstomer Service has not acknowledged the previous 'sound stopping' complaints and issued either a) an option to download previous release OR b) state intended direction to fix. Instead ONE is left wondering if this product is of any use.

    IN MY HUMBLE OPINION..... beware of ANY 'Plain and Simple' software products based on customer service response. It really isn't that hard to perform good customer service.

  • Why does the sound stop working

    This app is awesome and totally worth the price. However, why does the sound stop working after a while. Its really annoying when your relying on the sound to tell you to stop or start. Awesome app but please fix this problem and I can give it 5 stars.
