### 2/5 — Great timer, hard on the battery

*2016-12-14, version 1.4*

This timer does everything I need. 

The drawback is that it drains my battery rapidly. I use the timer for an hour a day. The settings/battery/battery usage reports the app used 78% dropping my battery from 100% to 54%. This is unacceptable and dropped my rating of 5 to 2.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-04-25, version 1.4*

After installed millions of apps, finally found an app that works perfectly

### 4/5 — Nice custom workout app

*2015-01-08, version 1.3.2*

Great app for creating a custom workout. A few bugs to work out still. The recurring field allowing for time in between exercises can't be changed. If you click on it, you change the delay before the start instead.

### 4/5 — Good, Simple Interval Timer

*2014-11-27, version 1.3.2*

The timer is very easy to set up and use. Highly recommended. It would be nice to have a sound effect that counts down the last 5 seconds of each exercise, rather than just at the end of each exercise. Another nice addition would be the ability to send workouts to friends who also have the app.

### 2/5 — Basic

*2014-07-03, version 1.3.2*

Wish this had split set option & sound alert for each transition. It's useless without - I have my phone strapped to my arm during workout so I can listen to music, so in order to see the timer I have to constantly stare at my arm ruining form. Add chimes or something! Easy to input workouts & easy functionality over all...very very basic.

### 4/5 — Easy, but too simple

*2014-05-28, version 1.3.2*

This app is very intuitive and easy to use. You are able to quickly put together workouts and organize your routine. However, its simple interface lacks some basic features, like the ability to delete workouts you no longer use or quickly copy circuit exercises, and this detracts from its usefulness. Overall I am happy with this app, but it could be much better.

### 3/5 — Hmmmm

*2014-03-15*

Almost there. The timer for "reoccurring" timer, or break between exercises, does not work.  Needs to work, then this is the best, easiest set up timer for every workout ---hiit, tabata, lifting, etc

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2014-03-13, version 1.3.2*

I like this app! 
It's the best timer for fitness, which perfectly fits my needs, also it is very helpful for crossfit

### 5/5 — Fitness for everybody!!

*2014-03-12, version 1.3.2*

With this nice app fitness is becoming accessible for all! My trainings have never been so pleasant and simple, thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2014-03-11*

Useful timer!! Very easy to set up! powerful fitness app!!Thanks!!
