The final beep is so loud it’s painful and it doesn’t stop until you pull up the app and press the button. ### 4/5 — Very useful *2024-12-31, version 8.3.2* Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t so difficult and not very intuitive to program at least for what I’m using it for. I use it for physical therapy exercises reps and time ### 5/5 — :) *2024-06-08, version 8.2* It’s so great and easy to use the only thing that I can’t work out is how to make the timer go off if I’m not on the app page which is kind of annoying ### 5/5 — 最高！ *2024-05-06, version 8.2* こんなの欲しかったが叶いました！ ### 2/5 — Needs design help *2024-03-11, version 8.2* Needs better looking UI & it’s very difficult to know what you can do with it without first upgrading. ### 5/5 — DIY must have *2024-03-02, version 8.2* Before finding this app, I was so unsuccessful at sticking with a workout. Finally, I decided to put together my own HIIT program with exercises, and intervals, I would actually do. It has worked wonders. It is so easy to use and modify. I am so grateful. ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2024-01-12, version 8.2* this is quite simply THE BEST INTERVAL APP AVAILABLE… hands down. fully customisable in every aspect and at the same time really easy to use. i experienced a slight bug with the sound months ago and got in contact with the developer (via the app) and they have gone well above and beyond in their attempts to fix it, maintaining correspondence and updating me personally throughout. i can’t begin to say how much this is appreciated. ### 2/5 — Use to be great *2024-01-09, version 8.1* This app use to be amazing but the updates have caused a weird glitch where the app doesn’t keep up with the exercises so you have to scroll to find which one you’re on. So obnoxious during a workout. ### 5/5 — Best timer app ever *2024-01-08, version 8.1* Love this app! Perfect for my daily stretch routine. And a bonus - customer service is outstanding! I had some silly questions about how to use the app when I first started using it and received great support! I use this app all the time and couldn’t be happier! ### 5/5 — Great simple app! *2024-01-07, version 8.1* Nice to be able to plan my own routine. I use it every day. I landscape screen-mirror from my phone to my TV, that's great! ### 3/5 — Cumbersome *2024-01-07, version 8.1* Very cumbersome creation of timers. No repetitions or groups possible which is a big minus. ### 5/5 — The perfect timer *2023-11-18, version 8.0* When software is at its best, it helps humans be better versions of themselves… this humble little app lives up to that. I started looking for a timer when I was running meetings with my team where each person needed to speak, and we need to make it all the way around but I didn’t want to be the one personally interrupting everyone. This solved that problem perfectly. I’ve since started using it for blocking all tasks. I hate doing around the house and just setting aside time for them. If I exercised, I would use it for that too… ### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreicher Intervall Timer *2023-11-12, version 8.0* Gut gelungen und auf das Wesentliche limitiert. Um das Prinzip zu verstehen habe ich eine Weile gebraucht, aber die Anleitung unter FAQ ist sehr hilfreich. Bisher läuft die App sehr stabil. ### 5/5 — Best app for my daily workouts! *2023-11-11, version 8.0* I appreciate that you are still updating the app to make the experience better and better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No I'm not *2026-06-21, version 9.1.1* It's not enjoyable to get endless prompts for a review. ### 1/5 — Less than useless *2025-04-20, version 8.3.2* Can set up a timer but it will not start ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2025-01-16, version 8.3.2* This app does not do anything that it advertises ### 1/5 — Nothing…. *2023-10-19, version 7.2.2* So far as I can tell, the free version doesn’t do anything at all. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work *2023-06-22, version 7.1.1* I can’t figure out how to make any kind of working timer. It worked in the past; I’ve used this app for years. Now it’s either utterly broken or using it has become too arcane. Sorry. But I gotta move on. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-02, version 7.1* Really bad. Wasn’t able to set up a test timer to determine whether it’s worth buying. Sounds (main criteria I’m using to choose) is behind a pay wall, so it’s not worth energy to figure out how to use anyway. ### 1/5 — Limited custom timers *2023-04-04, version 7.0* App used to let you make multiple custom timers. I had 5 or 6. When I tried to update them, the app now only lets me have 3 custom timers so I had to delete most of my previous timers. I can just monitor my stopwatch instead of having to pay. ### 1/5 — update erased all my timers *2022-11-12, version 6.4* timers erased each update ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2022-08-03, version 6.3.4* Useless ### 1/5 — Literally Useless *2022-01-31, version 6.1* Can’t set a timer! Make English translations better, these instructions are impossible to obey. Really disappointed. Mari sky uses this timer-I wanted it to work! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-02, version 9.1.1* The best timer app out there, you can create intricate, customizable workouts without the limits. Totally worth it! ### 5/5 — Best interval timer app *2026-02-15, version 9.1.1* This is all I use and need for workouts. ### 5/5 — Great for Workouts *2025-10-12, version 8.3.2* This tool helped me tighten up my morning workout routine to ensure I still had time to get everything accomplished in the morning before work while being able to maximize my sleep time. ### 5/5 — It is perfect! *2025-09-30, version 8.3.2* Absolutely no nonsense but does literally everything I want. Obviously designed by someone who actually knows what is needed!! ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2025-07-13, version 8.3.2* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this is quite simply THE BEST INTERVAL APP AVAILABLE… hands down. fully customisable in every aspect and at the same time really easy to use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! i experienced a slight bug with the sound months ago and got in contact with the developer (via the app) and they have gone well above and beyond in their attempts to fix it, maintaining correspondence and updating me personally throughout. i can’t begin to say how much this is appreciated. ### 5/5 — Free version no upgrade *2025-03-30, version 8.3.2* The app works well for my purposes. Primarily when performing yoga flow and static and/or isometric exercises. Can also use for dynamic workouts that include timed activity followed by timed rests. Unless you upgrade you have limited options with this app. I wouldn’t spend any $ to upgrade. The only reason I use this app at all is because my Timex watch beeps for 10 full seconds after each interval where this gives a single, peaceful chime. ### 5/5 — Well written and easy to use *2025-03-29, version 8.3.2* For a little timer app, where a developer could easily knock something quite basic up and be charging for it, I'm impressed by the level the developer has gone to. Everything works flawlessly, the app is thoughtfully designed and I've not yet encountered a requirement it could handle. It also has a purchase option rather than just a subscription so thank you! ### 5/5 — Lost timers *2025-03-09, version 8.3.2* I got the premium in order to save all my routines I keep on here. Once I purchased it 100s of my routines were gone. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-10-30, version 8.3.1* With volume controls added, I consider this app perfect now. I can use it with background audio. Very helpful developer ### 5/5 — Next up *2024-07-26, version 8.2* One of the best interval timers. Simple and very useful. I use it for timing my yoga sessions in various combinations and it is great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
