## What is Loop?

Loop makes setting timers easier, faster and more beautiful. Start multiple (interval, Tabata, and cooking) timers, create presets, import your own sounds and so much more!

- Easy Start:
The start screen shows the most recently started timers and your favorites. One tap is enough to start a timer. You can also create a new quick timer with natural-language input: Simply type something like "1h Work, 30m Break" to create a timer with two intervals. Any number of timers can be started in parallel. The first timers will be displayed as nested rings.

- Automatic Reset:
After a timer expires, the app plays a sound and the timer automatically resets, so you can start it again immediately. Alternatively, you can configure a timer to play the sound like an alarm until you disable it. Loop supports AlarmKit so the alarm is also shown on your Apple Watch (requires at least iOS or iPadOS 26).

- Presets:
You can save your favorite timers as presets, which can be started with a tap. You can use text or an icon for your presets, and also change the color as you like. You can create multiple categories for your presets, with each category able to customize the app’s default settings.

- Interval Timers:
You can create interval timers and save them as Presets. The app plays a sound for each elapsed interval and displays it as a small dash on the ring. Additionally, you can name each of them, select repetitions for the intervals, or make the timer repeat automatically.

- Choose Sounds:
In addition to many included sounds, you can also import your own sound files from the Files app. Start, pause, finish, reset, interval, and background sounds can be selected separately.

- Meditation Sounds:
You can activate a background sound such as ocean waves or white noise in the settings, which will then be played when a timer is running. It is also possible to switch off the screen in order to concentrate fully on your meditation.

- iCloud Sync:
Your timers, settings, and sounds sync with your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac.

- Push Notifications & Live Activities:
Loop will send you a push notification when the app is closed if a timer or interval has expired. The sounds selected in the app will also be used for the notification. In addition, a live activity is displayed when timers are running.

- And More:
Custom app icons, Apple Watch integration, HealthKit support, configure when the screen should stay awake, and countless further options.

### 5/5 — Version 7.4: great timer app + how to make it better

*2026-08-09, version 7.4*

NOTE: This review is about the paid version.

PROS: 
Looks beautiful, as if it was made by Apple.

Lots of sound options for each timer’s start, finish, interval, and reset - including the option to have no sound.

When there are multiple timers, you can tap on the timer’s circle to highlight the timer’s data on the left-side, and vice versa.

You can set any timer to infinity cycles, so that it only stops when you end it.

The iOS apps can sync with the Mac app using iCloud, so that each app always has the same timers.

The paid version is a one-off payment, instead of a subscription model which I avoid like the plague.

The paid version is worth it - plenty of options for each timer: sounds, icons, colours. Make each timer look and act how you want.

Support for dark mode, which is easier on the eyes.

Works in landscape mode and portrait mode.

The developer responds to reviews - for example, a bug mentioned in a previous version was squashed.

Regular updates to squash bugs and improve the app.

HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: 

Why is there a “Forward” button and a “Rewind” button? Don’t they both restart the timer? Just have “Restart.”

Make all the buttons visible so that we can just tap on them instead of having to tap “...” and then tap a second button.

Change the buttons from circles to rectangles with rounded-corners - that way they're bigger and easier to push.

Add red as a colour option.

Offer a trial-version so that we can try all the options of the paid-app before paying for it.

CONCLUSION: A great app, with a little room for improvement - 5 stars.

### 1/5 — A subscription for a timer is just not worth it.

*2026-08-08*

While I don’t mind paying for software and I am subscribed to journal apps, budgeting apps etc, a subscription for a timer or even a one time fee is really ludicrous. That is obviously subjective but what really triggered me was the fact that the app is not upfront that it is an exclusive paid app. 

On the free version there’s negative functionality. Instead of being allowed to run a loop for maybe 5-10 times for free they let it run just once. Thats just a normal timer right? Not a loop timer. Well no- a normal timer tells you how many seconds or minutes you have left. They hid the one timer behind a paywall. 

Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. People do owe developers for their time and their projects but this is just incredibly ill conceived.

### 4/5 — Except bug, good.

*2026-08-06*

There is a bug where Live Activities do not appear when running shortcuts via automation.

For example, when running a timer or similar action via a shortcut, the Live Activity does not appear. You must actually open the Loop app for the Live Activity to work.
In other apps that use Live Activities, when I run a shortcut via automation, the Live Activity appears automatically without having to open the app. Please fix this bug.
Other than that, it works well

### 4/5 — Finally a persistent timer app that syncs and record data for a perfect pomodoro

*2026-07-24, version 7.4*

I really like it, presets offer a lot of customizations. The only improvement I would say is to add an option to sync either to “workout” or “mindfulness” for better categorization, and give a name to the session instead of just “Other”.

### 2/5 — Not what I wanted

*2026-06-14*

I wanted an interval timer. It isn’t that. It is just a timer just like the native clock app. Not worth the time or any money at all.

### 5/5 — Clean looks + clever functionality

*2026-03-25, version 7.3.1*

Great app which accomplishes a lot with a little. It’s getting better with each update thanks to the developers continuing to take on feedback and improve the app.

### 2/5 — terrible programming

*2026-02-23*

sure you can program a series of rounds of different times for "move/rest" intervals BUT they all look the same when playing - the name of the interval doesn't show and you can't change the color like green for MOVE and red for REST or whatever you like for that. Also to change from a strange AI voice nonsensical sentence for the "default sound" you need to go to the paid version  - noone would ever use the free version. Also if you want to change the name of the preset - only paid version - that is ok but let's have a free trial to test this out before going to the paid version

### 5/5 — amazing app, one small suggestion

*2025-12-25*

one time payment, simple, easy to understand. you can make your own timer. it works perfectly for me 

but the only thing is that i wish there was a warning beep at around 5 seconds, sometimes its a bit jarring to switch from one exercise to another but i wont let this drop the score

### 5/5 — Великолепный таймер!

*2025-12-10*

Но в режиме loop очень не хватает отображения числа прошедших повторов

Please add count of loops after start loop mode timer

### 1/5 — "Loop Has Been Terminated"

*2025-10-28*

I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your message. This really should not happen. Could you send an email with your device model and iOS version? I will take a closer look and I’m sure that we will find a solution together.
