The BEST workout timer
This app is insanely good. It does everything you need it to, the interface is very user friendly and best of all it runs and dings in the background so you can have music playing or have your workout showing on screen without affecting the timer. Amazing. 10/10
Great timer
Intervals, cooldowns, sets! It’s got it all! Place for notes too!
More than just a timer
Has the ability to schedule and plan your workouts with precision so you don't miss an interval or effort. With built in templates it makes creating new training schedules a breeze.
Doesn’t live up to its potential
The timer keeps stopping in the middle of a session, and it frequently loses track of time.
Not great with Spotify
Great app, simple but exactly what I need but it is extremely annoying to use with Spotify. Timer will kick off your music and sometimes not even notify you the interval is done.
Customizable, Free App w/o Extreme Ad Disruption
This is a pretty good app for what I need it to do and for it to cost nothing. I’m satisfied.
Update:
If you want a timer app you can use without paying for, I highly recommend Interval Timer - Tabatha Timer. It’s customizable. It does have ads, but they scroll through them at the bottom of the screen while the timer is running and doesn’t interrupt your workout at all. It even runs while the app is minimized, so you can still listen for the sounds of when each interval ends, so highly useful. You can even control your music from the app. :) It does not interrupt my music playing in the background on my iOS device.
The one criticism that I’ve run across is that the app has become more glitchy as of late. I had to remove the app and add it back to my device b/c it would freeze up once I opened it. Unfortunately, doing this wiped all my saved interval timers, so I’ll have to recreate them - boo! But not a huge deal b/c they’re relatively easy to recreate. Also, after reinstalling it, I noticed that the timer occasionally freezes up or get stuck even though the timer isn’t paused, e.g., sits on 4sec left in an interval for more than 4sec. :/ I haven’t seen this happen too much yet, I only reinstalled it a week ago, but will be something I keep an eye out for, and may cause me to update my review further by dropping more stars - a timer that can’t keep time is a deal breaker.

Doesn’t work if you’re simultaneously using a running app
If using the native running app on the Apple Watch, the IntervalTimer doesn’t chime and goes away in the background. Totally useless.
Powerful tool
100% recommended to take your time management to the next level
Amazing!
This app is amazing. And you don’t need to pay!
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. Thank you!
