### 1/5 — Can only do 5 steps

*2025-01-27*

As a beginner I wanted to break down to more steps. But can’t. App deleted

### 1/5 — Like the look. Issue getting started

*2024-02-11*

It is not clear to me how to configure these timers. Creating a timer is easy enough, but I cannot find a way to add steps.
There is no way to enter a countdown 
time. perhaps I am missing something. It looks like a very cool timer interface, but I am unable to use it. I hope the developer takes a look at this and makes it easier to add a timer step.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.

I can look into making clearer how to open up the steps details.

To help you access the steps tap below the timer name where it says ‘1 step’ or similar this will open up the step details. Tapping on a step allows you to edit it.

Hope this helps.

### 4/5 — Great app for interval training.

*2023-10-28*

I love this app for my daily interval training routine. I have some irregular intervals (some short, 1 long) and this lets me time it.

App needs a bit more audio polish: louder sounds when each set ends (sounds are too soft and no volume controls), and t would be really nice if there was the option to speak the title of each step.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review.

I will look into the points you raised.
