### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-03-05, version 1.3*

Slick, simple and easy to use for timing stretches

### 5/5 — Simple, functional, perfect

*2023-11-29, version 1.3*

Fabulous app that does exactly what it says in a nice, clean interface for free with no ads.
Turn off the phone display and the app notifies you on your Apple Watch which is great.
Timer restarts automatically so I can run as many sessions as I need to with breaks in between.
For repeating blocks of time without a break, I just set the rest time to the same duration as the task time and this app provides a handy little reminder to keep me on track.
No options to modify sounds, but it doesn’t matter - the notification is just right.
Would be nice to run it directly from my watch, but really a minor point for such a lovely simple app that is free.
This makes me grateful; thank you!

### 3/5 — A bit buggy

*2022-03-28, version 1.3*

Works fine when the app is open but crashes when you switch apps and stops timing. I went to change my spotify playlist then went back to the app and it stopped timing which is really annoying.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

*2021-09-03, version 1.3*

This app is simple and does its task well. It’s easy to set a timer and a rest period. It has pleasant sounds and an intuitive interface. Great job by the developer!

### 4/5 — It would be exactly what I wanted if….

*2021-08-29, version 1.3*

It’s perfect in it’s design except I want to use it while check marking things off my morning routine list and for some reason if the app is closed it always stops at 5 reps and tells me I’m done. I like it enough that I just keep resetting it every 5 reps but it would be nice if I could get my full 10 reps in without fussing with it.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2021-07-25, version 1.3*

It help me organize my time when I’m writing notes, 
I luv it

### 5/5 — Only interval app you’ll need

*2021-05-16, version 1.3*

I never write reviews but I’m obsessed with this app. It is SO cute and simple. All of the other interval apps are so complicated and have too much going on. This app only has the essential controls and is just so aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention it’s FREE and doesn’t have annoying banner apps like the other interval apps. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS.

### 3/5 — Like the simplicity, needs sound options

*2021-01-15, version 1.3*

I like how simple it is but I would appreciate sound choices. The clicking sound is really irritating and not conducive to meditating and yoga. I’d pay a buck or two for some sound options.

### 5/5 — Perfect and aesthetically pleasing

*2021-01-14, version 1.3*

I wanted a simple interval timer that would give me  options to set my intervals and rest times, let me pause, and go off even if my phone was on silent. All other apps had random unnecessary features. 

The only other feature I’d love to see is a summary even if I don’t hit my interval goal set : )

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-01-05, version 1.3*

Easy to use, sounds and looks good
