  • Extremely customizable!

    I have been able to use PT Timer to set up physical therapy, stretching and strength routines, and I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface to its fullest potential! I’m impressed how well thought out this app is, and if you can’t figure something out or think something’s not working correctly or have a feature wish, the developer answers just about immediately! I haven’t experienced customer support to this level in an app before. I also use PT Timer for my yoga asana practice and as a meditation timer. Even as a Pomodoro timer! The possibilities are endless.

  • Best App for Exercise Routines

    I wish I had found this app years ago. I’ve historically had limited success with physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises because they’re boring, I procrastinate and run out of time, it feels overwhelming, I can’t keep track of when I did what, etc, etc. This app let me take out all the nonsense and just schedule something realistic and finite every day, and easily see when I’m done. I love the ability to send a report of my planned or actual exercises. The user interface is a little quirky at times with menus not exactly where I would expect them, but the learning curve is SO worth it.

    The developer plans to add the ability to share your exercises and workouts with other people. When this is added, it will be even better. But I already love it so much I can’t give it less than 5 stars.

  • Crashes Too Often

    If they can get it to stop crashing, it seemed like it would be helpful for coaching you through. Unluckily, it kept crashing while I was setting up my exercises and there were only 6 total.
  • Subscription required

    PT Timer has most of the features I need but I won’t use it because it’s a subscription. I’d gladly pay for this app once and for major upgrades. It’s offputting to have the 1st thing you see in the app is a license agreement. How silly. Despite the developer’s claim, they do track you. They send home your UUID.

    The essential missing thing is the ability to add a photo for your PT exercise. My exercises should sync between all my devices, especially if folks pay a monthly fee. Exercises do export and import fine.

  • Great app but…

    This is a very flexible app. But I added a photo to an exercise and it got chopped off. I’m unable to find a way to delete the photo. If I try to add an additional photo, the app aborts.
  • Perfect if your PT requires holding multiple reps

    Therapy for my broken shoulder requires that I do ten reps, holding for 10 seconds, twice, for multiple exercises. I’m old. I can’t keep track of reps while also counting down seconds! And I’ll unconsciously cheat if I can; this stuff is painful.

    The PT facility itself uses a wonderful, expensive app that shows the exercises…but does it have a count down with hold times? It does not. It just swings blithely through the exercises. Useless!!

    It took me half a day to find an app that does what I want and this is it. It’s perfect. It was simple to set it up they way I wanted it. Get ready, start, hold…

    Put it this way, I’m stingy as heck but didn’t hesitate to pay the small amount when my free trial ended. In fact, I may explore beyond my simple 10x10 setup.

  • App: Best in Category - App Support: Professional & Prompt

    PT Timer provides a comprehensive and well organized exercise routine manager.

    PT Timer is superior to all the other exercise apps I sampled.

    I purchased and have been using PT Timer since 2017. Just now I had reason to ask a couple of questions about the app. The developer’s response to my query was timely and thorough, as was the reply to my follow up question.

    PT Timer has proven to be one of the best iOS apps I have bought and used.

  • Very Customizable

    It’s quite nice to be able to configure a Workout composed of multiple exercises. Then with a single touch, begin the workout and have voice guidance throughout.

    I had been using a couple of other timer apps that are nowhere near as nice/customizable. I highly recommend the app and believe you will find it to be very good value.

    I like the new subscription model. It gives me hope that the app will continue to receive future updates should that be necessary.

  • Absolutely an excellent app

    I am using this to get back into shape after a back injury. I have my entire workout of stretching and core building exercises loaded into it. It’s so pleasant just gonna throw my mat down fire this thing up and do it until I’m done! I highly recommend it
  • Great PT App

    I just started using it for rehab for Hip replacement. Great app to keep me on schedule, I don’t have to keep up with how long to do holds or Reps. Can’t wait to use it for regular workouts. I have told my PT person about this App.
