### 5/5 — Super App

*2023-05-12, version 1.0*

Man kann alles so einstellen, wie man es gerne hätte. 
Einen Wunsch hätte ich jedoch: eine Alternative zu dem aktuellen Ton. Da ich die App auch für Reiki benutze wäre ein Gong als Alternative super.

### 5/5 — Beautiful simple

*2021-12-01, version 1.0*

This interval app is imho an absolutely beautiful little gem with its design . Only thing I’m missing are voice (or at least sound) announcements when a sequence starts or ends.

### 5/5 — guter Intervall Timer

*2021-07-16, version 1.0*

Tut genau das, was ich von einer Intervalltimer App erwarte, vielen Dank.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-06-20, version 1.0*

I love the simple and efficient design! It would be great if there was a way to share workouts with another device :)

### 5/5 — Great interval timer

*2021-06-18, version 1.0*

Looks good, easy to set up, great interval timer app. Would be awesome if it could play alongside music - that is, played the beeps over music

### 3/5 — Please please update to allow other programs to play in the background

*2021-05-08, version 1.0*

Please can you allow music to play alongside the alerts!

Every time I finish an interval and the sound plays, it stops my podcast or music playing in the background.

I love the app otherwise but I can’t use it as I need it for running and need music/podcasts playing too.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2020-11-01, version 1.0*

Love the app and the customization. Would give 5 stars if it didn't stop music from playing in the background

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2020-08-08, version 1.0*

I dont know why this app is not downloaded a lot. It's perfect for every fitness enthusiast. I love the features and the ui

### 5/5 — A gem

*2020-07-25, version 1.0*

In an age where you have to subscribe to use a work out timer rather than pay a single fee, this is app is truly a gem. Thanks to the developers for this contribution!!! 😁👍

### 3/5 — no settings

*2020-06-15, version 1.0*

This app is very basic, but the little options you have are great.
You can name every interval, and edit them easily.
The time selection is hard to get used to. I prefer something more intuitive.

The pause function not as nice as the rest of the app. I would like to pause and continue by tapping anywhere.
Right now the app opens a menu instead that covers the timer which ist still running in the background until You choose to pause or end the timer. This could be improved.

I wish the exercise list on the main screen would show an individual counter for each exercise keeping track of how often I completed the exercise until I choose to reset it.

Overall I don’t consider this app done, but it could turn into the best one I have used with just a little update..
