Closest app to what I want

I am looking to use this for Pilates classes. I gave 5 stars because it’s the best I could find, but there are a couple of things that would make it even better. 1) I rely on haptics on my watch to signal me that the time for an exercise is up and the tiny little vibrations are just not enough. 2) It would be nice if the list view of exercises on the watch auto scrolled to the current timer. 3) If the app could force the watch to stay on while a timer is running that would be so helpful. When I put my wrist down and it goes dark the vibrations don’t happen at all.
I appreciate the ability to create workouts online (I wish the same colors as the app were available though). Overall it’s a nice app that seems to be stable and easy to use.

Thank goodness

I was looking for a good interval timer that was free and it took me a while. I literally gave up and found this from safari. It the only good free timer out there (that I have seen)

Awesome!!

I love it!

Great Value without fluff

Some would say you can’t do better than free, but you can. “Better than free” means free PLUS the app does what you want it to. There aren’t frills, there’s no constant advertising, it just does the job, which makes it my choice for Exercise Timer.

Simple

But customizable

Awesome

Best HIIT timer out there as it lets you name your exercises then calls them out as you do them

Awesomeness!

Love for XC!

Exactly what I was looking for!

I tried dozens of apps while searching for this truly customizable with video timer. Use this app every day. Love it!!

Versatile customizable Exercise Timer

I’ve used this exercise timer for nearly 7 years. Is the only one I’ve found that easily allows me too create a variety of exercise routines that integrate rep-sets and/or timed sets; super-sets; rest periods, share workouts, etc. Access across devices.

The rating could just as easily be a 5/5 if
- updates on one device carried over to another device without having to log out and log back in to the second device
- being able to duplicate a workout using an iPhone (fortunately I have been bales to share an existing workout through text and then modifying it
- to have the ability to search, sort, or re-order the routines

(These could be nice upgrades at some point.)

Very disappointed with this app

I’m a full time fitness instructor and I’ve been using this app for over 2.5 years. Recently I’ve had issues with it syncing to my Apple Watch. It would never update, workouts wouldn’t show up or update, it would randomly lock me out and say I needed to upgrade (I was always upgraded.) last night in the middle of teaching it locked me out and said I needed the pro version. Today when it was saying the same thing so I thought maybe uninstalling the app from my phone would reset it. Instead, it deleted all my routines for the last 6 months. There’s no way to contact anyone with your issues so I personally would not recommend this app.

A very underrated app

I’ve been using this for years and it’s a very great app. I created several workouts for myself and it has all the features I need.

Update: I've been using this app for at least 7 years. Best app.

Great app

Awesome variety of work outs and has the flexibility to create your own, it is perfect

Apple Watch bug

The version on Apple Watch was dysfunctional. Exercises did not update properly and the settings didn’t allow the display to stay on so the app stopped when the display turns off which messed up the intervals.

Exactly what I was looking for

Simple to use, clean interface. The sample workouts were easy to modify to what I wanted, and I was able to do what I needed with the free version (so far).

Great app

Great app, thank you

Great app. Simple and effective

This is a great app. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now. It’s simple, clean and efficient. No bombardment of ads. No unnecessary fluff or flashy lights to distract you. It does what it claims. I highly recommend. To the devs, just leave it be. It works great as it is. Often times, trying to improve something just makes it worse.

Wonderful until it crashed this morning

Tried to find a way to reach app support but requires login.

Have been using the app, delightfully, for a couple of weeks. It has proven a game changer for my simple routine. Again, delighted.

It does save the data in a peculiar way, the time units get all fouled up. More a nuisance than anything, figured I was getting a lot more than I was paying for already.

Today it crashed… fails to open or opens to a black screen. Restarted my phone, looked in App Store for a possible update, uninstalled-reinstalled… fail fail fail.

Trust it’s something they can resolve by tomorrow! Not sure if I upgrading to paid version would resolve, no warning or known limited trial.

Input Nightmare

Tried using this app since I use the desktop version frequently with my laptop. Inputting information into this app was a nightmare. First of all, an account is required, which is odd considering I just want to use it for the interval timer function, but okay, sure. Inputting specifics for exercises that were not already preprogrammed was incredibly time-consuming and difficult, as the interface wants to slip and slide around as much as physically possible if you only so much as brush the pad of your finger on it wrong. Tapping and holding something to move it also activates the scroll wheel, so good luck getting your routine in order. I ended up getting so frustrated trying to get my stretching routine in order (didn’t even bother trying my workout routine) that I deleted my account and uninstalled. This app needs a lot of work.

Je ne recommande pas

Difficile a prendre en main

Awesome

Best HIIT timer out there as it lets you name your exercises then calls them out as you do them. Re-ordering excercises on iPhone is a little buggy though
