## What is Rock Prodigy Timer?

This app by Trango Climbing provides workout timers based on the Rock Climber's Training Manual protocol and the Rock Prodigy series of hangboards:

- Hangboard *
- General Fitness exercises
- Free Work, Timed Rest (e.g. Bouldering rounds, Campusboard) *
- Timed Work, Timed Rest (e.g. ARC, Climbing rounds) *

The hangboard timer is a unique feature of this app providing a timer with repetitions of short Hang and Rest periods (a Set) followed by a longer Break period. You can customize the number of Exercises, Sets and Rep(etition)s, and select the amount of time for Work, Rest and Break (rest between sets) periods. For convenience, it has 3 default training cycles for beginner moderate and advanced climbers. In these workouts hand grips are shown on the screen. It is also possible to change the settings of a default workout, or setup a complete custom workout.

The other timers can be used for various other climbing or general exercises, such as to time the rest period while performing campusboard training, core fitness exercises, climbing rounds on a boulder wall, ARCing, and many other exercises.

Features:
- Customize all details of your workouts.
- Save (and reset) workouts.
- Very clear and big timer display.
- Optional sound and vibration feedback.
- Full screen option.
- Pauses automatically when you receive a phone call.

### 4/5 — Good versatile app, 1 suggestion

*2023-02-04, version 1.1.5*

Can you make the countdown timer continue to run in the background when we are using another app? Currently the timer pauses once you switch screens/apps and you lose the timing on your rest periods (which is when I write down notes on my notes app)

### 4/5 — Good updates

*2020-05-30*

Thanks for the updates. It works great for me now. 
I agree with another reviewer it would be nice if the timer ran even when you left the app. That way you can respond to a text or something during a rest period without it pausing. 

Overall a good timer for hangs and other exercises as well.

**Developer response:** Hey Mitch,

Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to get this fixed as soon as possible.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2020-05-26*

Good app, easily customized and the pictures are nice. New update (5/2020) made a smaller screen which isn’t great. Please fix so it covers entire screen

### 1/5 — You broke the app

*2020-05-25*

What did you do to the app?! I paid for this and have been using it fine for 2 years.  Now you give it away  free and break it.  I can no longer create customs workouts or modify sets and rep range or anthony .  Nothing works. Epic fail. 👎👎

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for reaching out, and I apologize for this mistake. The app not showing text had to do with the phone being in dark mode, and that has been fixed in the recent update. Let us know if you are still having issues as of the recent update.

### 1/5 — Update broke the app!

*2020-05-24*

I just updated the app on my phone, and I can no longer see any times, reps, or sets. Completely broken. Please fix this asap!

**Developer response:** Hello,
The app was not showing text when the phone was in dark mode, and it has been fixed. Thank you for the prompt feedback!

### 5/5 — Works

*2020-01-09*

Works well, a lot of the bugs from the low reviews were fixed.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-12-29, version 1.1.2*

Would be good but insisting you upgrade to premium after using for a short period is a joke. The premium version offers nothing more than other totally free apps already offer.

### 5/5 — Great app, even what’s available for free

*2019-04-07*

I downloaded this app, expecting something not too great. I rock climb, and so I just downloaded it for the hang board timer. I expected there to be a lot less available for the free price (lots of in app purchases) but it is all I need for the free version. Great timer.

### 4/5 — Great app. One bug to report

*2019-03-06, version 1.1.2*

This is a great app for not only climbing specific training but also for general fitness and antagonist fitness. I paid for the pro version.

With that said there’s a bug where when you enable “keep screen on” when the timer is active, the screen still turns off. Easy work around is to just enable the screen never to turn off in the device settings but I would like that feature to work. 

Besides that’s it’s great!

### 2/5 — Room for improvement

*2019-02-23*

Good to have a specific app since my gym has this hangboard. 
The bad: no watch connectivity, no hearth rate data, workouts are not recorded, therefore you can’t track your progress, no option to record how much weight was used or which holds or finger combinations needed weight. 
The horizontal mode it’s not very good, the items on the screen overlap. 
Cannot see the workout as a list  
The next hold picture appears for a very short time, it could show in the background while performing the individual set. I hope the app it’s revised soon
