### 5/5 — Great freemium model

*2026-07-03*

Only using the version with ads, but if I needed it for work would definitely purchase.

Simple to use and I can create whatever intervals I need.

Right now only using a 20/10 true TABATA, but also used it for full court sprints.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed this app!

*2026-02-20, version 2.11*

Like this application! Building a bridal physique!

### 5/5 — One of the best for HIIT!!

*2024-11-03, version 2.11*

Want to do Tabata or HIIT? Then this is the app for you and it’s not that expensive. Great app; try it today.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-22*

The app has many options and does what it is intended to do. No subscription fee makes it cost effective.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-08-30*

I am very disappointed. I purchased a new phone, and when I reinstalled the app on the new phone, the app only allows me to have one timer at a time, unless I pay an additional fee. The same exact timer on my old phone allowed me to have at least five different timers

### 5/5 — Great freemium model

*2022-09-04, version 2.11*

1 timer for free

2 timers paid is a great model and provides flexibility

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2021-11-18*

Good for anything

### 5/5 — Mega!

*2021-04-05*

Suche schon länger eine App die man auch schließen kann und man Hinweise auf die Intervalle per Kopfhörer bekommt. Diese App ist mit Abstand die beste aller getesteten Apps von mir.

### 5/5 — Live This App!

*2021-02-11*

Keeps me on track and focused. Love how I can adjust the settings.

### 1/5 — Paid version does not work

*2020-08-26*

The free version only allows you to store up to 3 timers and seemed to work fine so I upgraded to the paid version as I wanted to create a pyramid workout (the workout time stays the same but the rest reduces and then increases). Despite contacting the developer, I have had no response in over 2 weeks. The ‘piramide mode’ does not work, it skips the rest interval and increases the work time. Stick to the free version and don’t bother with the paid version because the app contains bugs and does not function.
