### 1/5 — They broke the app: cuts off audio

*2026-08-08, version 4.2.1*

I bought and used the app for years. And they broke it. It now drops audio volume to almost muted for every timer, then cranks the volume back up when the timer is done. The app is now unusable.

### 1/5 — awful sounds

*2026-07-12, version 4.2.1*

awful sounds, completely unusable

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-03-18, version 4.2.1*

Update ruins the app. Music now ducks out. Can’t fix in iPhone settings. Trying to sell me a subscription. I already bought this. Garbage

### 5/5 — Great Customizable Timer

*2026-02-17, version 4.2.1*

I use this app daily for different purposes, not just interval exercises. The app calendar tracks a weeks worth of activity at a time, which is great. It would be REALLY great if you could track activity time for week, month, year as well.

### 2/5 — Adjusting my volume???

*2026-02-13, version 4.2.1*

Well I’ve used this app for years and now this week the app is adjusting my volume without my control. I mean when I’m working out I want my tunes loud. Drop the app dropping the volume. Not happy have to find another app until this can be fixed.

### 2/5 — Last update ruined the app

*2026-01-23, version 4.2.1*

App is pretty good. The last update created a bug that reduced the volume of music when the start button is pressed. Would be five stars otherwise. 

Attempted to contact the company but the email doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Love it before update. Now not so much

*2025-02-13, version 4.2.0*

Updated version is not as responsive as previous version.

### 5/5 — Perfect for the job!

*2025-01-24, version 4.2.0*

This app is perfect for setting up interval training for just about anything. I use it for strength training, and run/walk training. It lets me add warm up and cool downs for each activity, and the intervals are easy to customize. It’s exactly what I was looking for!

### 5/5 — Schedule

*2025-01-20, version 4.2.0*

This helps me to do everything from eating, to meditation 
A simple alert to help me remember 
It also helps me to train for my physical needs

### 1/5 — Was Great But Display Malfunctions In My Pocket

*2025-01-03, version 4.2.0*

I start my routine and put my phone in my pocket and the display expands to where I can no longer pause it or fully view it it makes the app totally  unusable
