Please fix it! ### 1/5 — Crashes everytime I try to save the interval session *2014-05-15, version 1.2* I can't use it. Crashes when I try to save a session. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot *2014-03-19, version 1.2* When I edit exercises and then go back it crashes and deletes anything I edited. ### 2/5 — Lousy *2023-05-03, version 5.1* Only 1 programmable routine ### 3/5 — Decent, reliable timer *2021-05-22* Decent timer. Only wish you could save more than 1 workout in the free version. And now - update TOO MANY ADS. Super annoying that you have to re-scroll past ads every time phone goes to sleep. ### 3/5 — Great until rating *2020-06-13* This is a great timer. You can set it up the way that you want. But when the rating app notification came up the the app stopped working. You can get around it. Bottoms don’t work. I had to delete app and reload. Lost all my timers. Also side view is unusable as most of the info is off the screen. I hope having a review now will avoid that issue in the future. ### 3/5 — Good for what I need *2020-05-19, version 3.3* This app is pretty easy to use and works for my home tabata workouts. ### 3/5 — Ok but not the best *2019-04-08* This does the job. Wish it had a voice that told you when to stop and when to go so you don’t have to keep track of the beeps ### 3/5 — Use for running! *2014-09-14, version 2.0* I use this app for my interval run training. It's not laid out perfect for this but it is simple and straight forward, which I like. ### 3/5 — Crossfit and Boxing *2014-08-20, version 2.0* I've been using this app for over a year and at first it worked great once I figured it out and learned how to manipulate it to do what I wanted. Then after several iOS updates and the fact that I still had a 4s it started to freeze and not save my edits. Now I have updated to a 5s and at first it worked great until two days agao when it froze and wouldn't do anything at all. Nothing I tried fixed it so I had to delete it and reinstall it, but I lost all me workouts. I have spent a considerable amount of time setting up all my routines. I still have the old version because there are no adds and you can save more than one routine. Usually updates make apps better, not worse. If it keeps screwing up I will move on to a different app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-01-03, version 7.0* Love this app for my gym sessions! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-11-14, version 7.0* Great app. ### 5/5 — Very good interval timer *2025-09-29* Free and easy to set up.
