I use with Nike+ for my runs Since the Oct 10 update, the volume of the music being played is lowered for the countdown, then stays lowered whether I play the music through the app or iTunes. Once this bug is fixed, it will be a 5 star rating... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ugh!! *2020-03-08, version 3.1.1* This app would be perfect if it worked when the phone went in sleep mode. But it pauses and throws off the run. Unless that is fixed, this app is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Not worth the 99c *2020-02-23, version 3.1.1* It says it works with your ITunes but if you hop out of the app for any reason it pauses. Take a call while run walking it pauses! Actually go into iTunes and it pauses! Don’t expect much from this app! The one time I went only on description and didn’t read the reviews! Uggh ### 1/5 — Stops working when screen is locked *2020-01-20, version 3.1.1* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Useless— I’d like my money back. *2018-11-24, version 3.1.1* Shuts down after a few minutes in background. Is not listed in the background apps section of IOS. In other words keep app open in the foreground with screen on and it works just fine. ### 1/5 — Interval app *2018-11-20, version 3.1.1* This is the worst timer app I have used to date. I am training for a half marathon and got tired of always glancing at my watch so purchased this. Works for maybe one interval maybe two then has you run and run: stops the intervals. This totally throws off my training runs, making it difficult to stay on track because of constantly stopping to mess with phone. Don’t recommend at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t use 30 seconds increments *2018-06-05, version 3.1.1* Just bought this app because it advertise that it can do 30 seconds time increments. But, when I tried to set it up to do that I only can change it by 60 seconds time increments. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Transition runner *2016-02-27, version 3.0.1* App was easy enough to use, but doesn't accurately track the intervals. I bought the app and to check before my run i set it up and played music, side by side with my kitchen timer it was consistently slower on each interval by 1-3 minutes. ### 1/5 — Not functional *2013-10-06, version 2.0* I can see how this would be the perfect app for my needs but it is not user friendly on my iPod. The vibrate between intervals will not work nor the cadence. It randomly starts even though you have the option to set it when you want it to start. ### 1/5 — Sorry... *2013-02-18, version 1.0* Pains me to say this, but like other reviewers, I found this app is not much use during a run. It stops when the screen locks, if you keep the screen displayed, it's then too easy to accidentally stop the timer. ### 1/5 — Works but has one fatal flaw *2012-08-26, version 1.0* The app pauses when the phone goes into sleep mode... Which basically makes it useless. Unless you are only going running for 5 minutes (the maximum amount of time the iPhone's screen will stay on) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs a few extra interval options *2017-09-01, version 3.1* The app was easy to use, easy to read, it I didn't realize before I bought it that you can't change the 5 minutes and 1 minute intervals, a few more options on that front would be nice Update: this app does in fact allow you to change the interval times, complete user error on my part, making this an excellent app 😊 **Developer response:** You are in fact able to set the desired interval length. On the settings screen swipe over the round run and walk icons to select the desired length. ### 5/5 — Interval running *2013-04-21, version 2.0* Just ran with this app for the first time. Loved how it worked with my iTunes music and the countdown to the next interval. Highly recommend! ### 4/5 — Easy to use but doesn’t store history *2017-11-03, version 3.1.1* First time using it. Worked ok but it stopped tracking when the phone went into sleep mode. Also would be nice if it logged your workouts over time so that you could see time or distance history. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2013-09-29, version 2.0* Love this app... Being able to pull through iTunes playlists is a big plus. One fix is needed... When I updated to iOS7, the ability to add all songs from a playlist at once went away. It's a real pain having to select all 60 songs from my playlist one by one. :-( ### 4/5 — Great app....one request... *2013-05-04, version 2.0* I ran the past couple of days using this interval app and loved it. Interval set up us quick and easy. It worked seamlessly with Nike running app and music playing simultaneously. The one thing I would request is the ability to set a warm up/cool down period. Oh, and the ability to adjust intervals by :30 seconds. I don't know how I'm going to make the jump from 4:1 to 3:1 walk/run! So I guess that's two requests. All in all, a great app! ### 3/5 — Love the app...but no sleep mode *2018-09-12, version 3.1.1* I would really love this app if it worked in sleep mode or when I’m looking at other apps while running. ### 3/5 — Quits too easily *2014-08-31, version 3.0.1* This app quits when you put it in a pocket of a fuel belt or camelbak,etc., even if you background it. Also can't use with Pandora. ### 2/5 — So so *2018-07-13, version 3.1.1* I wish it would download the running info to my iPhone health/fitness app. ### 2/5 — Needs some work *2018-02-13, version 3.1.1* I was hopeful about this app aside from it not having an apple watch function. It was easy to set the intervals and the vibrate function. It vibrated on first interval and then skipped the next 2 so I turned it off. Fix that bug and I’d love to use it. ### 2/5 — Not good *2013-12-04, version 3.0* App stops when phone locks - unless you want to carry your phone in your hand to keep it from locking this app isn't much help. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
