UltraTimer
This timer is exactly what I need for interval training on the treadmill. I gave it 4 start instead of 5 because, as others have noted, it crashed *a lot* during set up. Not really a big problem, just annoying. Otherwise, it is great and well worth the $1.99 for my purposes.danthebucsfan
Data lost
I have been using this for a while so I had many timers inputted. All of a sudden all of my data was deleted. All of the time it took me to input my timers is now lost. Good idea for a program but very unstable. This would crash on me often. Also, the screen needed to stay on, if it turned off then the timer would hang up and the sound would not play, the time would not continue either. As soon as I turned the screen back on it would play the sound and the time would resume.Show lessafrycl
Don't blame the tool
I've been using ultratimer for 2 months now. HIIT is a breeze. It has never crashed because I update everything properly. The crashing is due to people overloading their iPhones. Also I've never lost any data. Great app. Wish I could download intervals but other than that it's the best app for interval training.Show lesstokyogtr
Almost there...
This is a really nice app with a lot of thought and features. It fits my needs to a "t". I would gladly give it 5 stars (or more) if the darn thing didn't crash so much when I am trying to set up a new series. I hope that the developer can figure out what it causing this problem.pvwelder
Awesome!
Exactly what I have been looking for! I have been using the regular stopwatch on my iphone for my tabata training but recently it just hasn't seemed to be good enough in that it doesn't beep every 20 and 10 seconds. But thankfully you guys made this program! Awesome stuff!WhoIsMatt
Very Useful App
I have been using this app for about a week now. I was using their Interval timer app, but this new one works for me so much better. I have been doing the Couch to 5k training program, and thanks to this app I no longer have to cut times off to fit the training regimen into only 3 timers. The only problem I have been having is the program crashes every now and then while setting up the timers. But it has never crashed while running. Thanks!Show lessbeerman667
Pretty Good, but needs a little work
Ur last update bumped my review up 2 stars, but one thing that bugs me is when the timer is running, the graphics are really bad. Not a big deal, but it'd b nice to see improvement, also we need more sounds (sounds that are good during excercising). Finally, it'd be really cool to have it so that a timer doesn't run, it just beeps for half a second and then the next timer starts running. So when running in place a hear a beep, I jump up and get back up and then the run counter starts againShow lessProdigy's !st fan
Getting close
Newest upgrade addresses just about everything. Still wish I could adjust volume of sounds via a via iPod music. Also wish it had a sliding start button, so you don't turn it off by accident while working out. Would be nice to be able to fast forward and reverse through intervals so you can start in the middle of sequence, if you do accidentally turn it off.Show lessKingsinger
Very Useful.. but needs some improvements
Ultra timer has been very useful for my music practice and Yoga. I can set the sub-timers and works awesome. However I noticed that it requires a few improvements. 1. The iphone screen is ALWAYS ON as long as the ultratimer is running. This can drain the battery life. For example, if one were to use the "default" Ergonomic timer for 8 hrs, the battery would probably have gone dead long before the expiry of 8 hrs.... My suggestion is to shut off the screen after 1 min or so (ie follow the default behaviour of iphone settings) but light up at the end of every interval. 2. It would be very useful to have restartability for every interval instead of the entire program. To illustrate this, assume you have created a "profile" called "Yoga" which has 5 timers of varying durations. It would be nice to have the facility to stop timer 1 before expiry and move on to timer 2 OR stop timer 1 before it expires, skip timer 2 and move on to timer 3. This would make this timer very flexible. 3. I also noticed one potential weakness of this app. While the timer was running, I received a phone call on my iphone. After completed the call, I noticed that the ultratimer had stopped. I would have liked the ultratimer to either be running or paused. That way if I tap on the ultratimer, it will continue from the prev state. Other than the above this timer is awesome.Show lessVittal
Really needs a way to select what part of an interval to repeat!
Well this app has everything I suggested way back for the round timer. BUT i totally agree with the other reviewer it does need a copy paste type feature. As an example to do burpees I start with 40 seconds of burpees and 20 seconds rest but every 5 minutes 1 minute rest. So can set up one intervall clone it 4 times and change the end timer, then I can repeat this whole thing 3 times and that gets me my first 15 minutes. BUT the next 7 minutes I do 30 seconds on 30 seconds off, and the last 7 minutes I do 20 seconds on 40 seconds off. Since you can't repeat only Part of the loop I actually had to make 3 separate timers. First stage, second stage, third stage burpees. It would be nicer if you could check off intervals and then say to repeat the checked ones x times or x minutes and they would automatically add to the end of the list. If you could do this you could say make 40 seconds on 20 seconds off check them both and say repeat 14 times. then make a 30 seconds on 30 seconds on and check just those two off then say repeat 6 times then make just a 20 seconds on 40 seconds off check just those 2 and say repeat 6 times. and Violla 1 timer made with only 3 entries instead of needing three different timers or spending and hour manually entering each interval by hand after the first loop.Show lessLightbrazer
