Leave a Review Interval Timer
Good idea, needs work
Wish I had read the reviews before I paid for the app. It’s exactly what I want as far as setting intervals. However, it only notifies you of the intervals if your screen is open... that is not convenient, in the least, when you are trying to run. Also, it does not communicate with the Apple Watch. Most apps will have a function where it plays a noise and/or vibrates your watch when it’s time to change intervals. Fix these small things and I would give this 5 stars.Show lessFlea9303

Hi Flea9303, thanks for feedback! New update 2.2.0 was just released and it should fix mentioned issues - interval notifications now work on locked phone and your watch should receive notifications too. Please check it :)I want a refund.
Where do I start? I purchased this to do some running intervals with. Runners beware. This is not the app for that. I immediately had to purchase the full version for intervals 2+ minutes in length. I ended up setting a couple of run/walk sets totaling 10 minutes and was doing an out and back style run. The prompts do not sound if your phone is on locked screen. Who runs with their phone in hand and screen on? I put mine in a carrier so I can’t continue to take it out and check the time. I missed the first interval by over 4 minutes because I never got a prompt. Then I realized my phone is on silent. In other running apps, you can silence your phone so that you only hear your music and your run prompts (MapMyRun, Nike Running Club, etc.). This app does not do that. When my sound was on, I STILL didn’t get any prompts and didn’t know when my last interval ended. Again, because you have to have your phone screen on 100% of your workout to see them. Runners, don’t waste your money or time. Go pro on one of the better known apps for run training. I wish I could get my money back.Show lessj.and.t

Hi j.and.t! Voice prompts while app is in background is in our roadmap for next update. Hope we'll be able to implement them and app will be useful for you too. Thanks for such detailed feedback and have a good day!Looked promising... then immediately deleted
This app looked like exactly what I needed! But then when I went to set a timer for the warm up and cool down, it limited me to two minutes without paying. Looks like a great app unless you’re interested in purchasing this app or don’t want a timer for the bookends of your workout.Emmat76

Hi Emmat! Yes, there are some limitations in free version. So you can try it and then buy full version if you've liked app :)Simple and easy but...
Great app, simple and easy to set up and use but the prompts need to be louder or different options. The voice is very muted and monotone, I had to really listen for it while I was also listening to a podcast and missed it once. I’m not sure I could hear it if listening to music. Love the functionality though!Show lessKrfrey

Hi Krfrey! In new update we've updated notifications voice, hope you won't miss it now :)Exactly what I wanted!!!!
I’ve been trying Couch to 5k type apps for a while and for one reason or another there were things I did t like about it. Either you couldn’t customize it exactly how you wanted it, or there would be an issue with it working with Apple Music, and on and on. Then I found Interval Run. You can customize it how you want. Also, it works perfect with Apple Music by that I mean you launch Apple Music and it plays, you launch Interval Run and it still plays. And most important, for me anyway, when the voices come in to tell you to run, walk, etc, the music fades down, you can actually hear the Interval app voices, then the music cranks back up. Absolutely no issues. Love it. So now I can set my Apple Watch running workout, start my Apple Music playlist, then start Interval Run and I’m off.Show lessPriester68

Wow, thanks for such detailed review, Priester68! Very glad to be so useful for your workouts :)Not worth the money
I get that this is a simple timer, but it is way too simple to pay money for... if I’m going to have to pay for an app, I would expect to be able to set more than one timer or be able to save timers depending on the workout I’m doing. And this has no audible to go with the buzzing of the time. So, if you’re running and listening to music, this timer does not buzz into your headphones to let you know the next interval is starting: you have to be able to feel the vibration or you won’t know where you are in the sequence. There are better apps to pay for and get more for your money.Show lessLilmamaharv

Hi Lilmamaharv, thanks for your feedback! Goal of the app is to be quick and simple, that's why it has only 1 timer, so you can quickly start your workout without choosing which timer should be used. App sends voice notifications when your device isn't muted, so probably you was running with enabled mute on phone, please try to unmute phone on your next workout. If you have any other feedback or proposals, please contact us at interval.runs@gmail.com Have a good day!Terrible for road running
This app resets itself continually while running. Once you actual move, place your phone in a running sleeve, etc. it resets over and over so you never get through even 1 complete interval. Spend your money elsewhere unless you plan on setting your phone on a steady surface while using this app. Very disappointed and frustrated with this purchase.Show lessLifeisGoodinNSB

Hi LifeisGoodinNSB, sorry to hear that but it's quite strange bug as thousands of people using it while running and it works smoothly. Can you please contact us at interval.runs@gmail.com for finding issue, thanks Have a good day!I can only select 2 minute or less intervals
I can change the seconds freely but every time I try to change the minutes to more than 2 minute intervals it prompts me to buy the app and won’t let me change the time. Seems like a great simple app if you only want to do 2 minute or less intervals unfortunately I want a bit longer :(tronmeeks
No longer working
The first time I used the app, it alerted my watch. There has been a recent update and the app no longer connects to my watch. Can you look into this, please? I loved the app, but only got a chance to use it once before the update.Limbak
Developer Response
Hi Limbak, currently working on update, it should fix your watch issues.Doesn’t work without app open/screen on
Not the first 99 cents I’ve wasted and won’t be the last, but the many reviews I didn’t read before buying are correct: the voice controls do not work if the app is not open and active. You cannot, say, set an interval and then put your phone in your pocket while you listen to music or podcasts and have the voice interrupt and tell you when to stop running or walking. This app is basically useless unless you are running on a treadmill with your phone sitting in front of you to see the banner notifications, or with the app open to hear the voice (and you must have a tons of battery life, of course...)Show lessoneberrytwoberry
