I’d use it for clients, classes, and my own training. The past several months it no longer continues to play my music in the background. I’ve always had the same setting on it to allow ‘background’ music to continuously play and every time I open the app, my music stops. After going back to my music app and pressing play again, and going back to the app, the music stops again. I paid for the premium and this is highly disappointing since I switched apps because the the other timer app I used did a similar thing. ### 3/5 — Not running in the background! *2021-06-01, version 10.1.2* App not running in the background! Extremely inconvenient! ### 3/5 — Intensity *2021-01-13, version 10.1.1* Doing this to get free workout timer. ### 4/5 — Decent *2020-11-20, version 10.1.1* It’s a decent workout app ### 1/5 — Only lets you use Apple Music *2020-09-07, version 10.1.1* If you are using Spotify as your music service and don’t use Apple Music you are out of lock. You can only add songs from your iTunes library. Anybody knows how to add songs to your music library if you don’t subscribe to Apple Music? Exactly... ### 4/5 — Super programme *2020-09-02, version 10.1.1* Super programme simple et efficace!!! Il n’y a plus cas ce laisser guider!!! ### 4/5 — Good ap *2020-08-10, version 10.1.1* Works well, very helpful in getting through workouts and planning workouts ### 4/5 — Double charge *2020-07-11, version 10.1.1* Love the app and ungraded to pro version during first week only. Started crashing today and after reloading its asking me to pay again. That’s disappointing ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2020-06-02, version 10.1.1* I was able to set up a custom workout for rehab- my PT recommended this app. I wish I could go back and add an intensity in the middle of a cycle instead of only being able to add on at the end. Also, I cannot get the music function to work. ### 5/5 — Woohoo! *2020-05-05, version 10.1.1* So awesome! Love it :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Daten bei Update gelöscht 👎 *2026-02-20* Das letzte Update hatte alle meine gespeicherten Workouts gelöscht. Die vorigen Käufe konnte ich wiederherstellen aber so die Arbeit die ich schon investiert hatte um alle Workouts anzulegen ist jetzt futsch 👎 Danke für nichts. Damit wird das ganze jetzt deinstalliert 👋 ### 1/5 — This upgrade stinks *2025-11-29, version 1.0.3* I purchased the full version of the previous app only to come on here and see it was “upgraded” at an even higher price and its annual instead of lifetime access. I hate that it doesn’t allow you to make playlists for the different workouts. The previous version was so much better. I wish I could return this. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-11-18, version 1.0.2* App update removed features I already paid for and moved them behind a monthly subscription. This developer can’t be trusted. I deleted the app and suggest that others stay far away from it. ### 1/5 — Poor Update *2025-11-16, version 11.0.1* The new format of this app doesn’t do what it was originally designed to do. Can’t upload music, timer doesn’t even work, no guidance on how to use it. I got the premium version last month before the update and now it feels like a waste of money ### 1/5 — Верните купленную подписку *2025-11-13, version 11.0.0* Просто обновления подписка слетела и не восстанавливается. Это впервые встречаю такой акт жадности ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-11-13, version 11.0.0* I had the previous version of the Intensity Interval Timer and paid to customize it. Then, this last update, I have no access to my old workouts and cannot use my music unless I upgrade to the “plus” version. Pretty shady practice to just remove access and ask people to pay for an upgrade they already had. 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Update Wiped My Workouts *2025-11-12, version 11.0.0* The new update just cleared out my workouts. App will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Erased all data *2025-11-11, version 11.0.0* New update erased all my custom workout timers. ### 1/5 — Delete! *2024-03-04, version 10.1.2* The first time I tried to use it after an install it hung up on a pop up ad! Deleted! ### 1/5 — Schlechte Musikanbindung trotz kostenpflichtigem Upgrade *2021-08-22* Ich habe die App über 1,5 Jahre kostenfrei genutzt und mich daher nicht über die schlechte Musikverknüpfung geäußert. Weil ich zwei Trainingseinheiten einstellen wollte, habe ich ein Upgrade gekauft. Leider ist das Ergebnis das gleiche. Ausgewählte Titel werden in anderer Reihenfolge oder manchmal gar nicht angespielt. Die Sekunden werden ab dreistellig beim einstellen der Zeit nicht vollständig angezeigt, sodass nicht sichtbar ist, ob es sich um 120, 220, 320… Sekunden handelt. Wenn diese Bugs entfernt bzw. Verbessert werden, bin ich sehr zufrieden. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Got some bugs to fix *2024-03-18, version 10.1.2* I lived this app, but now the music quits during an interval or doesn’t play at all. Very frustrating. I am afraid if I purchase premium it will not work right ### 5/5 — Leveled up my workout *2023-07-25, version 10.1.2* I've always believed working out for time is the best key to conditioning. This app is a definite go-to. The timer keeps me focused and consistent. And consistency is the key to greatness! ### 5/5 — Love that it keeps track for you *2023-02-16, version 10.1.2* I use this app for workouts and also for my running. I live the music changing and makes it easier to work out. ### 5/5 — Saves me *2021-07-30, version 10.1.2* Helps with motivation ### 5/5 — Great interval app *2021-01-15, version 10.1.1* I like how I can customize any interval workout I want and it will count me in and out. ### 5/5 — I’ve been waiting on something like this for years!!! *2020-12-07, version 10.1.1* Thank you for making this app! Timing is so important! If you don’t time, your workout can take HOURS longer than if you do. Trying to switch back and forth between a note app and a timer app is a nightmare. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!! ### 5/5 — 5 star *2020-11-02, version 10.1.1* 5 star ### 5/5 — Good workout buddy *2020-07-30, version 10.1.1* This app is excellent when working out alone. It keeps you on track and keeps you honest ### 5/5 — 5 *2020-07-23, version 10.1.1* Stars ### 5/5 — Top *2020-06-21, version 10.1.1* Top --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
