Running app

Is there any app support? I can’t seem to be able to see where to set the repetition to run a marathon or the sound to tell the difference between run ,walk I also don’t want the continual beep every second. Who can I contact

Response from developer

In response, once you set the run walk timers and press the start button the timers will continue to run until you stop it manually so it will work for a marathon. There are built in sounds to alert you to run and walk. In order to hear them please make sure your iPhone is not in silent mode (switch on side of iPhone) and the "Ringers and Alerts" volume in your iPhone sound settings is turned up. For the continual beep sound you are hearing, it sounds like you have turned on the "Session In Progress Beep" which makes a beep sound every couple of seconds to indicate the timers are running. To turn this beeping sound off toggle the switch in the lower right corner of the screen. Turning this off will not affect the running and walking alert sounds. Please let us know if this resolves your issues. You can contact us by email at epayneapps@live.com or from the support page on our web site at www.epayneapps.weebly.com if you have further issues. Thank-you!

Great interval timer/audio customization

I just purchased the app. It will work for my long distance run/walk workouts, but I would love to be able to customize the alarm sound. Any plans to allow this customization ? Thanks.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! There are currently no plans for alarm sound customizations.

No sound alert

I really want to use this App, but the sound alerts don't work unless the phone is left on. This drains the battery and I accidentally hit the Pause and/or other buttons. Great idea, but disappointed.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! Sorry for your issue with the alert sounds not working. However the sound alerts should be be working when the phone is in sleep/lock mode. If you could please contact us through our support page on our site we will try to help with this. Secondly as indicated in another review reply, the buttons can be hidden during a session by double tapping the "Hide Buttons" button. Once done the app will not respond to any touches and the pause, cancel and reset buttons are hidden.

Simple to use!

I wanted an interval timer app that didn't take a lot of time to set up and this is it! Very easy and simple to use. It can be changed quickly if I'm midway through a workout and I need to switch up. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there was a way to change the sound of the alert tones. Overall, not bad for 99cents.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! We have had several suggestions to be able to change the alert tones. We designed this app to be simple and easy to use without too many settings to worry about. However, we will take this into consideration.

Don't Buy!

There is no indication to walk unless you are looking at the app. Not worth it.

Not worth it

The sound is so low and I can't tell when it switches from run to walk. I couldn't figure out how to change the settings.

Doesn't work

I would love this app to work but would not work with my music playing.

Interval length

Darn it, I can only set an interval for one length? I like to do 'ladders' - increase and decrease the running time. I'll keep looking...

Great app

I got this app when I first started running a few years ago. It's a great app if you don't have the money for the fancy watches.

Help

Use to work great in background. Suddenly doesn't help!

Excellent

I downloaded this for my half marathon and it does exactly what I wanted it to do!

Tap, Tap Tap every few seconds

Need to stop the tapping noise every few seconds. Just need a noise when it's time to switch between walking and running.

Great improvements!

Thank you for the recent improvements! They addressed the issues I was having and I'm happy!

Not updated for iOS 8

This app is still not working with the phone in sleep mode. In the support section for this app there is only one question, and it deals with this very issue. The solution is to go to settings>sound>ringers and alerts and make an adjustment. There is no such setting in iOS 8. The app simply doesn’t work with the your phone in sleep mode and the alert doesn’t sound unless your phone is awake, which will kill your battery. This issue makes the app completely useless. Runner’s Interval Timer used to be my go-to app for interval running, but I can no longer use it.

Simple but not loud enough

Beep is not loud enough between intervals.

NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS APP

Not at all satisfied. Its not at all giving any sound between intervals when iPhone is locked.

Alerts

What's the use of the interval app if there's no cue to let you know when to switch?!

Notification problem

When I run with my friends and use the app for the intervals, we noticed that it doesn't always beep. The problems doesn't seem to occur if I use headphones.

No sound

I purchased this app because I needed the sound alert. It doesn't work and my settings are not locked. Only reason I purchased this app. Very disappointed.

No sound

App works but there is no sound between the two intervals.
