### 1/5 — Counts only Sets after you touch the screen

*2021-02-08*

I have a bunch of 50 Rep exercises, want a counter so I can work on form. This app doesn’t have an entry for Reps, and with auto-advance on still requires that I touch the screen to keep things moving.

### 1/5 — doesn't actually do anything.

*2017-07-06*

Doesn't do what it says it does, which kinda makes it useless.

**Developer response:** An issue with the local notifications was fixed in version 4.4. Please update the app to the latest version and see if that solves the issues.

### 2/5 — Last update ruined a great app

*2013-02-23*

Since last update the app constantly hags up between sets. Also other bugs when setting times. App was great. Now it's frustrating.

**Developer response:** Please update to the latest version. This bug in version 3.0 has been resolved.

### 4/5 — New version needs work

*2026-03-15*

I used the old version and it worked fine. The new version is ok but I can’t get the different sounds to work right. I’m running iOS 26.3.1

**Developer response:** Thanks for the notice. This bug seems to have slipped past our quality testing. We have submitted an update to Apple for distribution, you should see version 5.2 in a day or so.

As a thanks, we're going to set all our iOS apps to free for the next 5 days (until March 22, 2026), Hopefully you see this and can take advantage to get other great apps by Chase Place LLC, like:

- Workout Coach | Manage your workouts and progress and use all utilities in a single app
- Tempo Coach | Audible cues to lift with tempo to allow you to blow past plateaus or rehab
- Gym Coach | Take the math out of loading a barbell
- Power Coach | Audible cues to let you hit your power targets (Watch App included)
- Athletic Reaction Coach | Random cues with a timer to train speed in reacting and going there and back.

### 4/5 — Does exactly what I need

*2013-06-23*

Great app.  I've never been successful at counting exercises.  This app solves that problem.  Suggestion:  would be nice if different sounds could be set for the active vs the rest interval.

### 4/5 — Great for Physical Therapy

*2013-04-13*

Allows me to read or watch TV instead of counting.  Perfect.

### 5/5 — Simple app, does what I want

*2019-01-03*

I use it to time kegel exercises and rests. Set your exercise time, rest time and number of reps. Only thing I’d like is the option to have the sounds work when you move the app to the background. You only get a vibrate.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2016-10-27*

This is essential for my needs.  I used a separate timer app then annotated my sets in my log in Evernote.  Kept losing my count.  This makes it all in one for me so I never lose count of my sets now.

### 5/5 — Just what I wanted

*2013-07-28*

It's so nice to have an app that keeps track of the duration and reps of isometric exercises. It takes away the worst part, the boredom of counting.

### 5/5 — Does all it should.

*2013-03-16*

I was very pleasantly surprised to find an app that does exactly what I need it to do, which is to simultaneously keep time and track of my workout sessions. I'm very impressed by this app's balance of completeness and simplicity.

### 5/5 — Great update!

*2013-02-27*

I LOVE the update. The app now does a lot of things that I wanted it to do before. I haven't had any problems with the update. 
-----------

I tried this app at the gym today. I didn't have to focus on counting and I could focus on the workout (breathing and form). Plus seamless interface with LogsAll and workout coach. Nice!
