### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2014-05-21*

For pro workout!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2014-04-26*

This app is great for timing intervals. It's simple and easy to use. Nice upgrade.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-03-16*

Why would you need an app to count down then not let you know when interval is over. If I wanted to stare at my phone I can count.

### 4/5 — Good

*2014-03-06*

It did everything I wanted except save my interval settings.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2014-01-02*

This app is terrible & doesn't work. It's frustrating!  Don't waste your time.

### 3/5 — Half the GymBoss

*2013-12-13*

I think it's great minus the stopping when someone calls or text!! Once that is fixed it will get 5 stars

### 3/5 — Shuts down

*2013-11-05*

Worked great until I got a text then it shutdown. Bummer ruined my whole workout

### 4/5 — Good to go

*2013-07-18*

I have happily used GymBoss timers for years.  I like the iPhone version better because I can save timer sequences.  My one wish is for the final alarms to be significantly different than the interval alarms.

### 5/5 — A++

*2013-07-18*

Looks good and works great on my iPhone 5. Would be nice if saved timers were ordered by when I've last used them. Other than that it's spot on.

### 2/5 — Does what it's supposed too, but...

*2013-07-08*

I understand the Gymboss costs $15 so I saves $10, but this is a very simple app. $5 is an exorbitant amount for such a simple app; I give 3 stars for value.
Update #1
-1 star alarm does not work while music is playing.
