Does exactly what it’s meant to do.

Does exactly what it’s meant to do. It works perfectly for running a given time period followed by a given walking time period. Great for plantar fasciitis programs prescribed by your PT.

Simple but Annoying …

I love this timer because it’s straightforward and simple. I love how it will tell you when to walk and run. Using this for my training block this summer. However, it’s frustrating and annoying when if you need to stop in the middle of the run it doesn’t pause automatically. Actually, it doesn’t pause at all manually either. I tried pausing it yesterday when I needed to use the bathroom. My 2 other run apps will pause automatically when it senses I have to stop.

If the developers of this app can figure out a way to make it pause automatically, I will give it a 5 star rating and purchase the upgrade.

This is how apps should be

I don’t need my interval timer to win a design award. I just need it to work — and this one is great! No bloated features, no flashy UI trying to impress me, just a clean, functional tool that gets out of the way and lets me focus on my workout. Honestly, more apps could learn from this approach. Simple is hard to do well, and the developer nailed it.

My “go-to” for interval

This has been my go to for interval training for several years. It could be improved, but everything can be improved and I did this able to handle all basic intervals. If it could be programmed for multiple variations at once that would be awesome.

Simple free and works great

All the others wanted a lot of $$$s this one does the job. Thanks

Just what I needed

Simple, effective, free

Great app!

I love this app! It’s good for my workouts, I use it all the time. One thing I really want is for it to get updated daily to work well with the latest future iOS updates.

It’s perfect

It’s so refreshing when an app is t trying to drain you wallet or distract you. Long live function!!

So simple, SO EASY

Downloaded and started stretching in 30 seconds! Thanks for making an app that gets straight to the point lol!

Great but color

Perfect app, completely stripped of any unnecessary noise but the color contrast is hard for me to read from where I have my phone at the gym. Different color options please.

Excellent to keep me on track

Music blasting, this app is still counting and keeping me accountable to myself. I do kettlebell workouts, one minute on, one minute off. Set my weight bearing time at 30-36 minutes not including warm up and cool down. The count down helps me push the last few reps when it’s hard.

Simple, easy to use

Very basic timer. Exactly what I need for hiit/sit training.

Conditioning for my first 5k

I use to run as a teenager in school. I stayed active but just enough; nothing more. At 62 years old I'm running my first 5k. This app has helped tremendously. I simply love it and have shared with others as a testament that you can do it also!

Almost perfect

I really enjoy the app as a whole. I love using it on my Apple Watch bc I can monitor my heart rate and I don’t have to have my phone nearby. One thing that disappoints me is I can’t start Workout on my watch and then use this without Workout cancelling itself. Unsure if this is all related or Apple related but if I could use both simultaneously this would be perfect!

Great app

Free and love it

Very user friendly

Easiest timer to use

Mostly love this app

I use this app while instructing group fitness classes!! The only thing I wish was different was a 3-5 second countdown on the watch. I’m pretty good at counting down in my head, but would love a beep as a 3-2-1 ending countdown to the end. I think if that was th case, I wouldn’t have to check my watch constantly. Please make this a setting and it would have my 5 stars!!

Avoid this. Worked for years now faulty

No idea why but timer now pauses mid set or mid rest when phone screen locked. Initially I assumed user error but it now happens constantly and definitely regardless of me being extra careful. Will be switching

I use this for a spiritual practice

Thank you so much for making this simple and available. If I maintain use I will gladly contribute. Your work and generosity are much appreciated.

Simple and easy

Exactly what I wanted.
