Leave a Review Interval Timer
Great, but…
I first started using this app back in 2017 or so, then stopped doing interval training until 2024. I found the app on my watch and was happy because I remembered that it worked great. I us this app on my watch at the gym and I leave my iPhone at home. I’m only giving it four stars because the interval sounds, when I’m listening to music or a podcast on the watch AND using the interval timer (seems like a normal thing to do), the interval sounds to not play over the music/podcast. I don’t know why. This prety much defeats the purpose of the timer. I’m sure if I was using my iPhone, it would work great because I could visually see the intervals. If there’s anything you can do to get the interval sound to play over the music/podcasts on the apple watch, I’d happily start up my subscription again and give the app 5/5 stars instead of 4/5 stars.

Suggestions
I couldn’t send feedback because the app insists I have email set up 🤷🏻♀️ but I had a few suggestions to send…
1. Have an “Up next” section to show the name of the next interval, especially during the last set or two, so we can use our rest time to prep the equipment for the next movement.
2. Show the current/total sets *much* larger and more visible, like in the center of the screen, so we can see it from farther away!! The numbers are practically hidden and so small, I have to set my phone down to do the movement and can see the timer from farther away but can’t always keep track of the number of sets I have left and can never see the small numbers. So I have to get up from the bench to see if I lose track (which is all the time)!
3. Allow us to attach a picture or a link to each movement so we know what the movement looks like!
4. Have an “X” to clear the entire interval name instead of having to backspace the entire name, especially when first setting up the interval and it has whatever default name on there…
5. Start interval name typing with a capital letter. It’s usually a default thing, I’m not sure why it wants to start typing the interval name with a lowercase?
That’s all for now! Otherwise a good app, with a few tweaks, it can be really great!!! ⏱️Show lessLis311
Leaving due to invasive ads
I have used this app exclusively for HIIT for about 12 years. I am legally blind, and found it was easy to set up on my iPhone. It has migrated to all my new iPhones easily. I was fine with the kyron ads that were a part of each session from the beginning. I had some trouble bypassing the full page ads when they began, as seeing and touching in the EXACT right spot to close them was elusive to me, both because of their design and my vision. Yet I persisted. The recent addition of multiple ads before I can start my session has overwhelmed me and sent me to Seconds. You have a decent product, but your advertising model makes it almost impossible for visually impaired persons to use. And something inside me bristles at feeling forced to upgrade just to use what I’ve had for many years. So I’m deleting your app and will no longer be recommending it. Bye.Show lessOB Grams
