simple app
too simple that you don’t have options for sound effects, can barely hear the interval announcer
Needs a few more things to be perfect
I love the simplicity of this app and it almost meets the need of what I’ve been looking for. Three things that would make this perfect:
1) a tabulation of total time of the workout you’ve created before getting started
2) announcements at the cool down period and at the congratulations screen, like the warmup and the intervals have (I put my phone in a running belt so if it doesn’t talk to me, I don’t know I’m at this point)
3) the ability to still announce when the screen is turned off. Right now, if I turn off the screen it will notify me visually but not over audio. And because I’m not looking at my phone while running, I have to keep my screen bright.

Response from developer
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Interval Run 3 was recently released with major improvements to workout experience, including much better support for running with the screen off and in the background, along with a redesigned workout experience. Please give the latest version a try. We really appreciate your suggestions, and if you notice anything still missing, feel free to contact us at support@intervalrun.app
Great app!
Would give 5 stars but only 2 options - run or walk. For longer workouts and choosing a run/walk/jog split it would be nice to change intervals based on set vs having just a set run or walk period. Still a great app!
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! Interval Run 3 now supports more flexible custom workouts with multiple steps, intervals, and repeats, so you’re no longer limited to a simple Run/Walk pattern. Please give the latest version a try, and if there’s anything else you’d like to see, feel free to contact us at support@intervalrun.app
Cannot pause it
It would be nice if you could have an option to pause the timer. Also, the “Time remaining “ must be larger so I don’t have to put my glasses on to read it !!
Otherwise, a nice simple timer.

Great app to Gradually get back into running
I love the app . I just wish the prompts could still be heard when it’s minimized.
Walk to run
You can set yourself up to run an interval, then walk an interval. But you can’t start off with walking. Please make this an option!!!
Stoped working with music in background
It was fine until I started listening to music and put my phone in the pocket. Then the timer just froze ovwr and over again.
Sound
Will gladly change rating if problem can be fixed:
Can’t get sound to notify when phone is closed, I have music playing, but other apps have reduced the volume to give interval alert.
I’ve checked my settings, and another similar app works just fine, but this one won’t and I’d prefer to use this one if I can get it working.

Poor notifications … disappointed
The app is either not capable or not easy enough to figure out how to get audible notifications for each interval. I was only able to get a vibration which doesn’t really work while rubbing with my phone in my running sports pouch pocket.
Exactly what I needed
Perfect for what I needed. Most reviews are old and they have fixed what folks were complaining about. I did have to purchase the $1.99 upgrade to get more than 10 minutes of running time, but that’s common so I didn’t mind spending it. Very straightforward and so simple to use. Super happy with this app no complaints so far!!

Good for exercise
Nice
0/10
useless app, if you want to do more than a 3 min workout you have to pay.
Apple Watch vibrate
It vibrates on my Apple Watch. I like that.
Apple Watch
Hi don’t you have an Apple Watch application?
Are you planning to have one?

Set to yourself and goals
I love how you get set the intervals to how you want it and for how long. You have to leave the app open so you can hear the prompts otherwise it just buzzed which isn’t useful when you jogging you don’t feel it .
It would be useful if you could still hear the prompts if you were using another app, but it’s not the end of the world as you can set up your podcast or music and then start the interval app and keep it open. Takes a bit of adjusting to know how many repetitions are needed for the time you want to be exercising.

Well-done app but most options not free (freemium)
This app is easy to use and works well. But most options require $2 upgrade. The free version gets you about 10 minutes of run time (although you can quickly start a new cycle) and limited time ranges for walk/run.
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! Interval Run has changed a lot since this review. The new Interval Run 3 includes a redesigned experience, much more flexible custom workouts, and many new features for run/walk interval training. We'd love for you to give the latest version a try, and feel free to reach out at support@intervalrun.app with any feedback or suggestions.
Does not work for me :(
In principle I love the idea of this simple app. Sadly, it does nit work for me. The app does not work on lock mode, but when it is unlocked and in my pocket it also stops working. Today it reprogrammed itself while in my pocket, walk interval turned to 50 minutes and total exercise time to 5000 minutes. I am not kidding. Need to look for something else.

Cool App
Does the job. I don’t care for the mechanical voice.
Ok app if you stare at screen
The app was easy to set up and loud enough for me to hear but I don’t hold my phone in my hand when I run. I locked my screen to put it in my pocket and none of the reminders made any sound. Really disappointed.
Scam
If you want to charge for your app, go ahead. Don’t pretend it’s free when you basically only offer a demo.
