### 5/5 — Love this app but please add more text voices

*2026-05-04*

This app is the best for workouts it’s super useful and straightforward. Please add better text to speech voices all of the current ones are outdated or creepy sounding😭. It would also be nice to have more customization, like app color themes. thank you!

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2025-03-12, version 5.3.16*

Been using this for a while now with some friends when we work out together at home. Love the level of customisation without being difficult to setup. The voice prompts and related options are amazing!

### 3/5 — Like most of it

*2024-12-26*

Rather easy to use and straight forward. Was looking for exactly something like this.
Some UX isn't as intuitive as it could be (e.g. if you're editing the count down and voice over options there's no save button, so you're left wondering if your changes actually took hold).
What really annoyed me though is that it says "double tap to skip" and that that's simply a lie. Double tapping doesn't do anything. And skipping something would really be a nice option.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for the feedback, especially about the absence of a “save” button. As for skipping, you can double-click or tap on the current interval to skip it after starting the workout. Additionally, there’s an arrow skip icon in the top right corner of the interval that you can click to skip as well! If you encounter any trouble, feel free to email me, and I’d be more than happy to help you personally!

### 4/5 — Robust, but usability issues

*2024-09-25*

This is a robust and feature-filled workout tracker and timer, but it has some usability issues and existing features could use a little refinement. It will probably be great for most users, and certainly seems better than all the competition.

### 5/5 — Much improved

*2024-08-01*

I had some issues way back with the app crashing. The deeloper reached out, identiied the issues and fixed them. Very nice app now that it's working properly.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for letting me know about these things. I was able to find and fix your #1 and the update is out now. I have not been able to reproduce any crashes, so I added more sophisticated crash logging in this update as well that should give me some data in the coming days as people use the app. If you have more details about your crashes or any additional feedback, I would love it if you emailed me at shannon@abitworkout.com

### 5/5 — Almost perfect!

*2024-05-19, version 5.3.8*

Excellently designed. Customisable to suit your requirements. Elegant UI.

I would like to see the ability to;

Optionally extend the 3 second count into each exercise.

When starting a workout to go straight to the large countdown screen.

The ability to implement your own colour scheme. (I loathe red)

### 5/5 — Wonderful App - Worth upgrading - No regrets

*2024-05-11*

This is by far the best workout timer on the App Store. It is EXTREMELY customizable and beyond that doesn’t get weighed down by the customization options. The interface is very intuitive. I appreciate how the app can read out the name of the upcoming exercise and tell you how much time is remaining. Moreover, you can even change the voice to whatever you want — I played around with readings with a French or German accent which were funny. Go with this app, you won’t regret it. 

BTW - Reading the other reviews:
- Crashing: I have not had any issues of the app crashing personally. 

- Cost: I too was a little bummed when I hit my 5 exercise limit per month. I tried to find something better and really there is none…. Which brought me back to the value which this app brings me and how much time I would have saved if I just paid for a membership/1 time purchase rather than trying to find something better. All things considered, 1 dollar a month or 10 dollars a year is beyond reasonable (alternatively 25 for lifetime access). How much would a monthly gym membership cost you? A beverage from the store? It is possible that you’ll be using the app for a couple hours a week, if not a month, so why not chip in to the single developer who is making your life easier with this app?

### 5/5 — Great for my use case

*2024-03-28, version 5.3.8*

I wanted something that was highly customizable.  On the discovery of the text based editing feature, where editing complex timers and workouts saves so much time, I was sold and decided this was a 5 star rather then a 4 star.
