I downloaded it and immediately got a notification that it had to update and the update is stuck loading half way ### 1/5 — Work in progress *2014-03-25, version 1.0.1* Lack prevent from lock (SERIOUSLY) The timinig circle is awesome BUT the inferior bar should show the total workout time elapse and remaining I'm not clear what the lock symbol does I think I made a mistake by buying this app ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2014-01-11, version 1.0.0* Total waste of money. Does not work if you want to listen to music or check any other ap. ### 3/5 — Mediocre at best *2014-10-05, version 1.0.2* Difficult to set up it likes to add a set where one was not asked for. (Ex. Asking for 3 sets will get you 4 sets. When your cool down arrives it doesn't seem able to include your cool down at the close of your last interval so instead of the requested 2 min cool down you will get a 3 min cool down instead, (if your interval cool down was one min. Also has no mechanism for recording your workouts if you don't want some social media involved. The count down at the end of each cycle is cool. ### 3/5 — Good *2014-02-26, version 1.0.1* I really enjoy using this app, it makes doing my interval training so much more convenient. However, I wish there was a setting within the app that stopped my phone from locking or allows the timer to keep going even if the phone screen locks. I have to constantly make sure my phone is awake or I have to change the settings on the phone itself which in rather annoying. Overall awesome app though! ### 3/5 — Pros and cons *2014-01-17, version 1.0.0* Pros are it's easy and clean looking, well thought out. However it kills your music when you load it or when the timer goes off, so that's a deal breaker for me. If that gets fixed id give it 4. If I could customize the timer alarms it would be a 5 so I could know which interval I was on without looking. and then if I could run timers in sequence to run from exercise to exercise without stopping that'd be great. Do that and I'd definitely give a 5. ### 4/5 — Favorite Interval Timer *2014-03-03, version 1.0.1* I tried several and this is the best I found. Best interface for customizing your workout schedule, no fuss and it is easy to make quick changes. The combination of auditory and visual cues is spot on and it looks good in use. It's been a big help. It would, however, be helpful if the app could override the Auto-lock feature of the phone. ### 4/5 — A real looker - some wishes *2014-03-02, version 1.0.1* Agree with Mo-Risso. A great app for interval workouts. Graphic display is excellent. Four wishes: 1) prevent screen from sleeping; 2) workout total elapsed time; 3) workout total time remaining; 4) current interval number. Excellent work! ### 5/5 — Perfect app for HIIT *2018-02-19, version 1.0.2* Straightforward. User-friendly. A pleasure to use. Makes doing high intensity interval training a snap. I alternate between using a rowing machine for the low intensity sessions and a trampoline for high intensity running. Works great. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2016-10-03, version 1.0.2* Was fairly easy to set up once I played around with it. Used it at home a few times to work out all my human errors I made during set up. Efore I used in class. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Looks cool *2015-06-02, version 1.0.2* I like this timer for the fact that it looks simple and easy. There are no heavy graphics and the colors are fine on the eyes. Though there are no preset timers at first, it is given that you should set a workout timer for your own, which is okay. It also does not require too much learning for setting up the timer. ### 5/5 — Great timer *2014-01-04, version 1.0.0* Love this app! Super easy to use and making my own timers is awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
