This is a great tool for kick boxing and boxing

The new updapt fixed it and I'm satisfied.
If u like boxing and u want a great timer do not hesitate. U can set your resting time your workout time. All great

Good app

Good app. A couple of things i'd say are that the shadow on the main screen makes it appear blurred and therefore more difficult to see, and some other minor changes would make it more intuitive but otherwise does exactly what i was needing from it.

Works as advertised

Awesome program... one of the reasons I got an iphone. Timers are easy to set up and use. Works well for a number of purposes including at the gym, work or around the house. Works well with ipod and I have found no glitches. Cannot easily use with other apps like a fitness trackers but that is Apple’s fault. Wish there were a few more alarm options but, this does not detract from the product I am just picky about sounds.

Good, but some suggestions

The app is great, and I like being able to save timer routines. I have a couple of features/changes I would like to see.

As others have commented it would be great to be able to chain timers together. Ie have one timer for a specific exercise or task, followed by another. With this I would be able to program a number of loops of one timer, followed by loops from a second timer. Currently I have to start each timer manually, which is a bit annoying.

Also, i love the ability to record sounds. But the built-in sounds are low quality samples (although there is a good selection). Sound really compressed and sound bad noticeable even through the built in iPhone speaker. I think this is a pity given the overall quality of the app.

Does Everything for a Fitness Instructor

Does everything that I wanted. I set up a 3-2-1 course. It starts with a 5 minute warmup, followed by 8 intervals of 3mins, 2mins and 1mins and then ends with a 5 minute cooldown. It took me less than five minutes to figure out all the features and get the whole timer set up. Excellent app that I would recommend to anyone looking for a timer flexible enough to handle whatever is needed.

Now the ultimate timer app

With version 2.1 this is a truly solid and versatile timer app. I use it to create high intensity interval training workouts. The built-in sounds are solid and very easy to hear, especially with a recent update that pauses audio during the sound. And you can even create your own sounds which lets you give yourself audible prompts. Nice! The developers really listen to user feedback, as evidenced by the version 2.1 update to re-enable screen locking support so you can do your workout with the device on you without worrying about tapping the display. Nice job guys!

Does not function correctly when locked

If the screen is locked the timer stops working. This means that you have to leave the screen on all the time doing this makes the battery run out fast. This in my opinion makes this thing useless. I recommend not buying this until the developers fix this feature. If not for this one feature this would be a great product.

Perfect for stretching

Better than expected. Got it set up in 5 minutes. Use it for timing yoga stretches with a few secs in between to get into next position. Favorite features: variety of volume-adjustable subtle sounds, portrait / landscape display, keeps screen illuminated during countdown, auto pause with incoming calls. Finally, I do not have to reset a timer after every stretch!

Great app for circuit workouts

I love this app really practical and use it every day in my workouts. A few things that I would be nice to see added. 1) Option to change the size of the text on the screen shown when timer running - currently the text can be very small to read at a quick glance 2) Option to show a preview of the next interval name during the current interval - this would be really useful for complex workouts with lots of exercises 3) Ability to set random interval duration between two limits 4) Autocapitalisation for the first letter in an interval name Overall a great app.
