Used to be great. Not anymore.
The developers clearly wanted to invest their time once and be done with this app.
It used to work just fine, and the simplicity of the app was what drew me to it. Just press a button, and the rest timer counts down.
With phones being updated over the years, this app has become a pile of scrap.
It won’t even open on my wife’s iPhone when she tries to use it. She’s tried updating and redone loading many times. The app is obviously broken right out of the box. It closes as soon as it’s opened.
The background functions also DO NOT WORK. Do not believe the developer comments about ha omg “fixed that”. The app does not notify you if the rest timer is up. You must have your phone unlocked, the app open, and just watch the timer. You might as well just count down.
Don’t waste your time, this developer sure doesn’t waste theirs.

Doesn’t work with iOS 13
Since the new iOS update the app doesn’t work.
Love it
I loved this app but it’s no longer working for the newest iOS update sadly hope you guys can fix this it was a life safer for my clients
Great App but not usable on iOS 13.1.2
Loved the app, really sad that it stopped working with the new iOS version but really simple, accomplishes what it was designed to do. Easy to set up and doesn’t constantly lower music volume while timer is ending.
No frills
Simple intuitive interface. I use it for yoga and it's perfect for that. I can think of some enhancements but for free I'm quite happy.
Easy
This was easy to figure out and works well for stretching. I’m going to try it with C25K next.
Response from developer
Thank you! I'm glad you were able to incorporate the app in your workouts. It definitely helps to keep track of timing and consistency.
Ok
Doesn't beep when running in the background.
Response from developer
Hi, this issue has been fixed. It beeps when in the background.
Great App
This is a great app! I'm using it right now and writing this review during my rest time 😄 While it's true it doesnt ring if you lock the screen, it is still a good free app. Implementing that, plus apple watch support would make it even better 👍🏼
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. Today, the app does supports notifications on the Apple Watch and you can hear audio notifications if the phone is locked (make sure the silent ringer is not on).
Doesn't work
This timer works only if app is open. If you close the app, or put the phone to sleep, it will not ring.
Response from developer
Hi, In order for Rest Time to continue delivering notifications and sounds, your volume ringer cannot be on silent. If so, no sound will be played by the app when the phone is locked.
Amazing fitness app
For a free app I am impressed! I have been using it daily and it has really improved my workouts. Highly recommended!
