### 5/5 — Toller Timer, selbst programmierbar.👍

*2026-02-03*

Benutze ihn sehr gerne.

### 4/5 — The most complete free workout timer app out there

*2021-10-23*

I have spent a good amount of time trying different apps, and by far this is the best, specially when you like to mix it up in your workouts, I go from tabata sets, to emom or amraps all in one. 
The only thing that would make it perfect would be to have a total workout time/ rest time. So when creating customized workouts you can see how long the workout will be.

### 1/5 — hate the ads

*2021-07-24*

not very happy i paid to remove the ads but you still show me ads inside the app ????

### 2/5 — Solala

*2019-08-21*

Please, please, please fix the issue with „display zoom“. The start page is plain white in this mode. Starting the tomer in not possible!

Die App ist sehr gut, lässt sich ideal und individuell anpassen...ABER, der Timer lässt sich nicht starten, wenn man „Display-Zoom“ bei den Plus-Modellen an hat. Die Start-Seite ist einfach nur weiß. Vielleicht kommt bald ein bug-fix.

### 1/5 — Lässt sich leider nicht starten

*2019-08-19*

Sah vielversprechend aus, aber so nicht nutzbar.

### 1/5 — No start button, only settings

*2019-07-04*

App does not work on iPhone XR, there is no way to start the timer

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-12-12*

Very versatile and easy to use. 
Would not be without it during my yoga classes.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-17*

Really solid interval timer good for lots of different exercises! Thank you for making this!

### 2/5 — Has potential but needs work

*2016-12-07*

I'm struggling to find an interval time that really integrates with the Apple Watch.  All I want is a buzz on my wrist at the start and end of an interval! This app allows you to create and start intervals on your watch, but the notifications still appear on the phone rather than the watch!

### 2/5 — Terrible interface, impossible to use

*2016-11-19*

If you can manage to get your timer set up, then can find it again, this app does a nice job. But the interface is simply impossible. There's no indication whatsoever how you get from preference screen to set up screen to timer selection screen. I believe the developer thought he was being clever and sophisticated by having no visible controls, but the joke is on us users because the app more or less cannot be operated. Please, Mr. Developer, just add an effing menu!!!!!
