### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-10-02, version 3.9*

Works great

### 3/5 — It became payed??

*2025-07-10*

It worked nice and stuff but today out of nowhere it doesn’t allow me to start the timer if I don’t go premium
It was nice while it lasted but there are better apps

### 5/5 — Great Timer, no hidden purchase obligations!

*2025-05-11*

This timer has a lot of what I want in a timer and probably a lot of what you want also. You can program intervals of warmup, activity, rest, and cool down, all to the second. You can also do many rounds (the rounds are capped off at 100 currently). You can also save workouts, which is fantastic for just logging on and getting going. There is also NO annoying AI voice telling you when to start, when to stop, and what you’re doing -just whistles(which is a breath of fresh air)!

If I may opine on something to improve, it would be taking off the cap on rounds worked so that way this app can also be used as a "rabbit" to improve on the speed of certain  movements. This would allow it to double as a tool to help with high rep count activities (for instance, I am trying to improve the speed at which I do Navy Seal Burpees)- but this is honestly a minor quibble. 

This app has truly earned its rating!

**Developer response:** Hello!
Thanks for the extensive review, I am glad you are enjoying the app. The increase in rounds is already in the works, keep an eye out for the next update!

### 5/5 — The best one. Period.

*2025-04-21*

My Time Interval is definitely the best timer in the apps store. Stop searching for timers. 3 main points: 1) it works on the background; 2) many custom modes like adjusting the beep sound: 3) You can save multiple timers (one for running, one for pomodoro, one for gym, and so on). 4) NO BUGS! Thank you, Mr. Pavel. You really rock! Best.

**Developer response:** Thank your for the kind review Fernando, I am glad you are enjoying the app!

### 4/5 — Won't be primary timer

*2024-11-18*

The app seems pretty good and has a decent number of options but I won't be using it as my primary workout timer. It may be useful for some things. I use an interval timer for many things but one of the most important is for my stretching routine after workouts. I just added a routine in the app and got the message that I wouldn't get notifications with the routine because it had more than 30 intervals. I need more than 30 to complete my stretching routine. The other feature that would be almost as important is a background click. I currently use a timer that will "click" every second, if desired (or at some other preset interval). I use that feature every time because it allows me to keep track of how long I'm stretching even if something interrupts me from the regular intervals, or if I have a stretch that is a different length than the rest and I don't then have to wait for a new interval to start my next stretch. I very much like the ability to use the watch app and another minor wish would be for more sound options. So, I may use this app once in a while for some things, especially on my watch, but it can't be my go-to without those important features

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review!
Regarding notifications, the 30 interval limit applies to using the app in the background (with the screen turned off). If you do not have to turn the screen off, there should be no limitations on the number of intervals. Please do let me know what type sounds you would like to see added to the app in the future.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-11-18*

❤️❤️❤️❤️

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — This Interval Timer app wonderful

*2024-11-18, version 3.7.5*

No fuss no muss have the job done in no time.  Excellent

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-05-08*

I really like this app, it makes short workouts easy.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review!

### 1/5 — Free app

*2023-11-08, version 3.7.1*

Let me continue free use of app

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you need and doesn't charge for basic features

*2023-10-29, version 3.7.1*

Great app. Unlike other timers that lock absolutely necessary features behind a paywall, this app does what it's meant to without intrusive ads or premium begging. 

Thanks for this, 10/10.
