## What is Gym Timer?

- It does everything:
With Gym Timer, you just set the number of sets and the rest time between one set and the other, then you just need to start the timer at the end of each set.
When is time to start to train again, it will alert you.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-04-28, version 3.6.2*

App not playing sound in silent mode, even using headphones. Useless.

### 2/5 — It adjusts itself

*2025-03-23, version 3.6.2*

It was a greattt app especially because I use it on my Apple Watch to time my rest time and sets and I love that it vibrates a little so I can feel it when my musics loud. Well when I put up weights and clean the machine which takes a couple more seconds it will automatically go onto the next set and or complete my task without me changing it so I end up loosing track and it automatically adds more sets and longer rest time when I change exercises.For me that’s a deal breaker. Hopefully it gets fixed because that would definitely change my rating of this app:)

### 5/5 — Simple and exactly what I want

*2025-03-23, version 3.6.2*

I workout with AirPods listening to music and this allows me to stop worrying about my watch between sets and notifies me in my ear. Perfect balance of simplicity and functionality.

### 3/5 — It often resets when training is running

*2025-03-22, version 3.6.2*

I use of course the training app, and often when I go back to the app on my watch to to click “done” it’s reset. So frustrating

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-02-22, version 3.6.2*

Facile d’utilisation. Je recommande ce produit

### 5/5 — 혼자서 시간제 세트하기 최고의 어플

*2025-02-14, version 3.6.2*

쉬는시간이랑 운동시간을 1:1로 잡고하기 너므 좋은 어플

### 5/5 — ボクシングトレーニング

*2025-01-02, version 3.6.2*

自宅でのサンドバッグとスピードボール

### 5/5 — Perfetta

*2024-11-06, version 3.6.2*

App semplice ma completa, ne ho provate tante ma l’unica che risponde alle mie esigenze

### 5/5 — Good until ad update - FIXED

*2024-10-08*

This was an amazing, simple app that tracked sets and rest times. Then, they made an update where the screen would get stuck on an ad after each set. I understand ads, but the ad used to only go on after you finished all sets. Now, it pauses your entire workout as the ad blocks the screen and disrupts in between sets.
EDIT: the creator listened to feedback and updated, now it’s great! 5 stars.

**Developer response:** We have already solved it and if you update the app to version 3.6.2 the advertising is no longer invasive. Regards

### 4/5 — Bien mais peut mieux faire

*2024-09-18, version 3.6.2*

Toujours le bugs quand je sort de l’application pour en ouvrir une autre sa ce fige sur la montre il y a aussi un autre soucis parfois il me compte une série en moins et dommage que vous ne laissez pas le choix des couleurs ce rose ne plaît pas beaucoup
