Paid for the app….now want me to pay again.

I bought this app several years ago for $5 on the App Store…. Now there’s an update asking me to pay AGAIN yearly or $18 for life… when I paid initially. Total scam and joke of an app greedy developers

Rip off

I actually purchased this app outright sometime ago and it works quite well.
Suddenly they decide to renege my purchase and pressure me to pay for a subscription or purchase the app again at an inflated price.
Imagine buying something from a store then having the store owner chase you up years later for more money because they’re prices had gone up.
Quite an aggressive tactic IMO.

Purchased then bait and switch to subscription model now they want more money

Don’t buy this garbage timer or they will try to make you buy it again.

Ruined

After paying for this app many years ago, they have now decided to go to a subscription model and previous purchases are not supported. Money grab.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you’re having issues, if you previously purchased the app you should not be asked to pay again. Send us an email at info@bittimer.com and we’ll get things sorted out.

Payment again?!!

I purchased this app years ago and now they’re asking for a monthly fee. I’ll use my $30 digital watch that doesn’t have a subscription fee. I enjoyed this app for years but all good things come to an end.

Changed payment

They charged for the app upfront, and then later put a paywall after using it, requiring this app’s longest serving users to double pay. There is no customer support or ability to communicate with these people.

Subscription?

Has been my go to app for simplicity although I use others for more complex treatments. I just don’t see how a subscription model justifies a simple timer app. Paid before but I just can’t anymore. Best of luck to this new sub model but not for me.

Purchased the App & Now it Requires Subscription

I purchased the app before but now it will only give you 5 timers and then it requires a subscription. I submitted a ticket on the website and there has been no response.

A subscription for timers

I just can’t imagine anyone justifying the concept of a subscription for a timer app.

I downloaded a lifetime membership

Now it says subscription required. Loved the app but not the changes. Tried to restore purchase and it won’t let me.

Really good

Great app. Would be perfect for me if it had a beat tone for keeping a constant pace. Ideally it should pause during rests.

Does exactly what it is supposed to.

Use it regularly with great effect. Not capable of timing multiple things or sequences but for me, keeping me on track in my workouts, it’s perfect.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying bit timer! Thanks for taking time to write a review.

Exceptional support!

I have been using and loving Bit Timer for years. The user interface is elegantly simple and the app does exactly what I want it to do without being bloated by features I don’t care about.

But now, I’m here to talk about Peiter’s fast and effective response to a display problem I suddenly began having a few weeks ago. Short story: I emailed Peiter and described the problem; he emailed me back with a couple of questions; and in no time he had traced the problem to a bold-text IOS update. And then he fixed the problem!! If only everybody else in my life were like Peiter!!

Thanks for the kind worlds! Glad to hear you are enjoying bit timer!

Almost Perfect

Love this app. Set and forget and it tells you when to start a set. Like a coach with a whistle—hit it on one tweet, rest on two.

The only thing I wish was that it had a transition block for when I need to switch weights or move to a new exercise and can’t do so in my standard rest window.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and for taking the time to write a review.

perfect

elegant and beautiful, easy to use, intuitive interface does exactly what I need a Tabata timer to do, without any junk love it!

I’ve had this for years

It’s the single best rest/work interval timer on the App Store.

Yessssss an update

I’ve had this timer since probably 2015 or so and it’s the one I always come back to. Simple, fun design. And now with features I’ve wanted (iCloud sync and favorites). 10/10

Solid workout timer app

Great update- thank you for listening to our feedback. My only issue is that I paid for this app I don't know how many years ago but now that the app has new functions and you're asking for an annual fee to access them.

Best Interval Timer. Ever.

I said what I said.

Amazing app for circuits.

I’ve been having this app for 5 years and it has always been a very good app for my workouts!
