## What is Circuit Timer?

Circuit Timer allows you to create and run interval timers to track workouts, food cooking times, or anything else you can think of.  You can repeat a segment multiple times before advancing to the next segment.  You may also run the entire set for a set number of loops, or for a specified time period.  You may also run as many timers as you want.  Track their progress all at the same time using the main timer list, or follow along one at a time using the timer control screen.

Circuit Timer allows for a great flexibility with your alarms.  Customize the alarm sound and duration for each timer segment, and specify a different alarm when the entire timer is done.  You may also customize the length of the alarm, or pick a song from your iTunes library as your alarm.

Great for workouts where you want to have alternating exercise/rest periods, like circuit training.  It can run while your favorite playlist plays in the background.  It will also run in the background and alert you when a timer in the sequence has finished.

Looking for a timer where you can track cook times for multiple dishes at once?  Or, be able to specify when to stir, flip, or move on to the next step for your dish?  Circuit Timer can serve that purpose as well.  Track all your timers with a glance from the main timer list.  Detailed notifications tell you which timer step is over and how much time is left.

### 1/5 — No alarm when asleep

*2017-11-30*

Alarm doesn't sound when the phone is asleep, and that's a big, dumb dealbreaker.

### 2/5 — Needs some work.

*2014-11-15*

I could see myself giving this app 5 stars in the future, but for now it needs some major work. The idea is great, but the implementation needs some improvement. I've been using this app for a while now hoping to see some bug fix updates, but have so far been disappointed. There are enough glitches to make it almost unusable. 
The app crashes regularly whenever I'm picking a song to use as the alert sound.
Also, once the designated time for the circuit to run has elapsed, the circuit continues to run with the "time remaining" going into the negative hours even when I try to stop it or turn off the app.  I've had to delete it from my phone before to get it to stop running when it kept making noises while I was trying to sleep. I remember there being other issues, but I can't think of them off the top of my head right now. I'd love to see some improvements, because this app does have potential.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2013-03-01*

This app is incredible. If you do any kind of interval training, you need this app. A lot of other timer apps either don't have the essential functions this one brings to the table or have too many distracting bells and whistles. After all, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, right?

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!

*2012-08-20*

This is an amazing app!  I use it almost everyday sometimes two or three times a day!  It comes in handy when I have several tasks to get done and I don't want to get bogged down wit just one. I love this app!!!!

### 4/5 — Perfect for run training

*2012-05-20*

I use it with my iPod app to help me train with times run walk programs- its perfect.

I just wish it overrode the silent function. When I forget my phone is set for vibrate, the circuit alarm doesn't go off while my iPod is playing and I run past my stop point...

### 5/5 — Best circuit timer available, by far!

*2012-01-29*

I absolutely love this circuit timer! In fact, I have nothing bad to say about it; it's so easy to use. Recently I put in a support request for some new functionality (a better alarm) and the person was very fast and easy to work with. I just downloaded the update today (sooner than expected) and the improved alarm works perfectly!

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2011-12-04*

It freezes when i switch to other applications. Useless because it needs to stay on the same page with the screen on at all times. It drains your battery and is not a reliable timer. Ill change the rating if the next update fixes these problems.

### 3/5 — Great start

*2011-09-23*

It's a great start to what I am looking for.  Some things I would like to see added is the ability to create the various exercises and quickly drop them into a sequence so they can be repeated if necessary.  Also would like to see a total time listed for the entire sequence I've set up.
