Does not work in background

App works great and would receive 5 stars. Gets 1 star because it does not work in the background. You must have the app open on screen for it to be functional. Would otherwise be perfect app.

Last update erased all my intervals

I was a happy, daily user of this app with many interval series I’ve set up over the years and after the last update, they’re all gone.

Best for counting holds

I’ve tried a lot of similar apps and finally found this one that will count reps and holds. Simple but effective!

Been looking for something like this forever. The app I subconsciously knew I needed!!

Great! This should be paid but thanks for the generosity of the inventor and maker!

Does not run in background.

Simple test. Make a chime with 1 second interval to run for 1 minute. While app is on screen it chimes every second. Hit IPhone Home button to put app background. It stops chiming, until you bring it to the foreground again.
