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:) ### 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 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Was great *2024-08-31, version 3.6.2* The way the app work previously was awesome, not loving the new update a step backwards. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2024-08-25* EDIT: The developer responded saying that they resolved the issue in version 3.6.2. However, this is the version where the intrusive ads began for me. I appreciate the developers quick response, but the issue is not fixed. So I’ve been using this app for years during my workouts. It’s been awesome, a super simple platform that I needed. There’s always been a little banner ad at the bottom of the page which I don’t mind, since it doesn’t interfere with the timer. However, there was just an update to the app the past few days. Before I updated, I thought to myself “I really hope they aren’t going to put in ads now”. And sure enough, now there are ads that interrupt your session. You already have banner ads on the app, there is no need to interrupt our workouts with the pop up ads. I wish I could give this app 5 stars, but it’s such a shame that the developers put in ads. I’m not one to write poor reviews on anything, and this may be the first time I’ve ever done so. The new ads just irritate me so much. I might just switch to the built in Apple timer until this gets resolved (if it ever does). **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 ### 3/5 — Old version pls *2024-08-23, version 3.6.2* Love this app! I used it for years, for my gym sessions. Honestly don’t like the new color, old version was better. But keep updating the app please, we need widgets especially for the Home Screen. ### 2/5 — Stop pub nouvelle version nul *2024-08-22, version 3.6.2* Je préférai l’ancienne version y’avait pas de pub C’est pas possible de faire une version payante pour enlever la pub Sa serai bien qu’on puisse changer les fond d’écran aussi ### 5/5 — Semplice e utile *2024-08-22, version 3.6.2* Ben fatta, semplice ed efficace. Tra le poche che garantisce un countdown veritiero anche se si passa ad altra app e si torna indietro. Ovvio che la pubblicità non la sopporta nessuno, ma per una app gratuita è un compromesso che va accettato. Anche se nella precedente versione probabilmente era davvero invadente. Nel complesso soddisfatto ### 4/5 — Complimenti, pronti a risolvere i bug *2024-08-22, version 3.6.1* Premetto che dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento l’applicazione è diventata inutilizzabile a causa della pubblicità, a questo punto ho scritto per richiedere assistenza e prontamente ho ricevuto risposta. Vediamo vediamo se risolve a breve ### 2/5 — Falla el contador de series. Se brinca en ocasiones, necesitan reparar el error de la app. Gracias *2024-08-21, version 3.6.1* Está buena la app pero necesitar reparar la falla q se brinca las series No notifica en ocasiones cuando termina el tiempo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-04-28, version 3.6.2* App not playing sound in silent mode, even using headphones. Useless. ### 1/5 — Previous Version was better *2024-08-26, version 3.6.2* Why change the color pallet? The one before was perfectly fine. The previous version was simplistic. ### 1/5 — Borrada *2024-08-23, version 3.6.2* Imposible utilizarla desde la ultima actualizacion, le han metido anuncios cada ronda que haces. Aplicación borrada del tirón ### 1/5 — The app WAS useful *2024-08-22, version 3.6.1* I liked he app before this last update. It’s just not practical anymore with the endless ads after every set. ### 1/5 — Gym timer *2024-08-22, version 3.6.1* After update….far to many ad’s. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Bugs et trop de pubs depuis la maj *2024-08-22, version 3.6.1* La maj a détruit l’app et de plus le nouveau design est mauvais ### 1/5 — 3.6.1 Made This App Trash *2024-08-22* This *was* a great little app, but it seems the primary “fix” that came with 3.6.1 is to show you full screen (with audio) ads between many of the your sets instead of at the end of the exercise, in addition to the ads always shown at the bottom. With no way to pay to remove, these are so obtrusive it’s straight to the garbage bin now. **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 ### 1/5 — New update is unusuble *2024-08-21, version 3.6.1* New update plays an add after every interval!!! This makes the app completely useless. Horrible ### 1/5 — Terrible update. Avoid. *2024-08-21, version 3.6.1* Used to be a decent timer app and that is why it has good past reviews, however, the recent update has made it unusable. Auto opening adverts after every. Single. Set. Yes, after every set you have to close adverts that have been opened in the app before you can start another timer. Many of them are also click bate adds so clicking the close button launches the add in your browser!!! Impossible to use in any useful way. Great shame for what used to be a decent app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Used to be great *2024-08-30* EDIT: The developer actually addressed this issue. I’m updating this to a 5 star review. Thank you so much for fixing this!

Simple to use. You set your reps and the rest time. ### 5/5 — Ottima applicazione! *2024-08-26, version 3.6.2* Uso Gym Timer da circa due anni ormai. Trovo che sia un’applicazione molto ben strutturata, semplice ed efficace. Sono stato molto positivamente colpito anche dall'attenzione degli sviluppatori ai feedback degli utenti e alle correzioni dei bug!
