Rock Prodigy Timer User Reviews

Top reviews

Good versatile app, 1 suggestion

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)

Good updates

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.

Response from developer

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

Great app

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

You broke the app

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. 👎👎

Response from developer

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.

Update broke the app!

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!

Response from developer

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!

Works

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

Don’t bother

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.

Great app, even what’s available for free

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.

Great app. One bug to report

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!

Room for improvement

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

Rubbish

Dos not deserve the title of rock prodigy! Horrible design that pops up ads mid workout

Like it

Excited to have an app specific to the rock prodigy. Seems like some of the feedback from some of the poor ratings has been fixed. Wonder if you could fix the ability to “edit” the default hang board work outs? It would also be cool to be able to save multiple custom hangboard work outs, and to integrate into those. Thanks for creating this:)

Essentially unusable

Timer is pretty buggy, doesn't run in the background and will intermittently allow my phone to sleep, causing the timer to pause. Also the sounds are not reliable.

Vibrate always on

You cannot turn the vibrate off unless you also turn off the sound which makes this app useless
