### 2/5 — no sound

*2025-12-27, version 3.0.1*

no sound

### 1/5 — No sound on the second day

*2022-07-09, version 3.0.1*

It was perfect yesterday, but it doesn’t work today. No sound.

### 5/5 — Easy and useful

*2022-04-28, version 3.0.1*

Very easy to use uncluttered interface to enter minutes and seconds of your repeat interval and number of repetitions. In continuous mode it ems a pleasant little beep at the end of each interval. It has the option to pause also. I use this for speed skimming books and articles giving myself a time limit for each page, and also for making a dent in a list of todos by working a few minutes on each one after the other.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2021-08-09, version 3.0.1*

I realized I needed something besides my phone timer when exercising because I didn’t want to have to end/restart after each interval. This works great!!

### 4/5 — Interval/Tabata training timer: Get what you pay for.

*2021-06-12, version 3.0.1*

Downloaded this app for doing Interval training at home and was the only free app that went above 5 intervals without having to pay. Did the screen need to stay on? Yes. Did that mean I needed my phone on charge? Yes. Did I care? No. Because it’s free.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2021-02-21, version 3.0.1*

I use this all the time for my own HIIT workouts and adjust the pause to allow me to integrate/ set-up the next exercise. This is so much better than any other similar app I have tried. The only improvement would be to add an extra long “rest” after so many sets. I do pause the timer but I would like to set myself a timed rest of say 2 minutes max. Also I find it doesn’t work (sound) in the background behind pdf workout sheets.

### 1/5 — Steals personal info!!!!!

*2021-02-18, version 3.0.1*

Whatever you have copied to your clipboard this app will instantly paste it the second the app is opened, as indicated with the newest iOS delete this app.

### 3/5 — Three stars because it didn’t remove ads after purchase

*2019-05-27, version 3.0.1*

This app is simple and useful. Like it, but would like it more if the developers would follow through with deleting ads after I paid for app. Boo.

### 4/5 — Repeat Timer

*2019-04-05, version 3.0.1*

It’s easy to use and does what I need but even with the loud alert switch on the alert is too quiet in a noisy room.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-12-03, version 3.0.1*

I love this app! Simple yet flexible. I use it for my post-run stretches.
