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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Works. *2018-10-24, version 3.0.1* Simple. SIMPLE! Does what it’s supposed to do. Only allows 59 minutes between cycles; It should include hours for things like hydration breaks, med reminders, or any implementation that cycles less frequently than hourly. Good for physical therapy; good for stretch breaks when working. ### 3/5 — Needs one fix *2017-10-05, version 2.1* This app stops my music player when running. Can you have it run on top of music? ### 3/5 — Half perfect *2017-09-16, version 2.1* The phone app works great please fix the watch app so it doesn't keep resetting when the watch screen shuts off. ### 3/5 — Watch app a let down *2017-03-31, version 2.1* The iPhone app is exactly what I was looking for but it doesn't work on the Apple watch, which is where I'd use it most. ### 4/5 — Works perfectly *2016-10-31, version 2.1* Looks like you are not looking for reviews but this app turned out to be exactly what I was looking for after an injury. Only improvement for me would be one additional "sound" to indicate the completion of a set of exercises. Thank you for sharing it. ### 4/5 — Very useful, but alarm doesn't work *2016-09-15, version 2.1* I am doing a large number of stretches to help repair lower back pain whereby I hold a stretch for a number of minutes, then maybe repeat the exercise on the other leg. This App allows you to time the stretch and set a delay to get in position before the timer starts again. Excellent, except the sound notification between each repetition doesn't work. Please fix it. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2016-08-06, version 2.1* I have used tons of apps over the last 5 years. This is among the few reviews I've written. I downloaded this app to do some head and neck movement exercises to treat vertigo. This requires changes between 4 poses every 30 seconds for 5 times. This app is perfect for that as most looping timer apps I used didn't provide a sound after each repeat. This one is good. It also has a louder sound option. My advice would be to make more sounds available. A bell sound for example would be good for mediation or yoga poses. Another important feature missing is a final sound different from the previous ones to let you know the entire iteration of loops or routine is completed. Other than that, this is great and super simple to use! Exactly what I needed!! ### 5/5 — Great little app *2016-03-20, version 2.1* This app is great for what it is designed for. A very simple, easy to use app that allows one to do a repetitive task in time intervals. Too many apps are bloated and not easy to use. This one does exactly what I needed. I have only used it on an iPhone however and not had an experience using it with a watch or iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Didn't work for me *2017-09-16, version 2.1* Activating 'Start' commenced the countdown. After the screen saver blanked the screen, I lifted my wrist to read the count and it immediately reset to the original duration. Did this twice then gave up. ### 1/5 — Timer cancels as soon as watch screen turns off *2017-01-17, version 2.1* A simple reoccurring timer is what I was expecting to be set on my Apple watch and run until complete and keep reoccurring. What I got was an app I can set the time and ongoing reoccurrence but resets when watch screen turns off/when you raise wrist, useless. ### 1/5 — disappointing *2016-12-01, version 2.1* Not working on watch ### 1/5 — Love this app, unless it doesn't work *2016-06-26, version 2.1* On my iPhone 6s this app works, but I use it with maximum intervals and notice the clock starts to count faster than it should, making a minute on the timer only like 30 seconds in real time. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-05-09, version 2.1* I downloaded this to set a repeating timer on my Apple Watch. Like another user said, every time your watch face turns off, the timer resets and starts over the next time you look at your watch. The phone app doesn't run in the background, so if you switch to a different app or your phone sleeps, the timer will stop. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-03-04, version 2.1* My hope is this review is the one that finally allows Apple to show the average rating. The watch version has this weird issue where it resets when you move. Wrote the developer, never heard back. The phone version doesn't vibrate if you have sounds off and it doesn't have a different sound when the set is over so you only realize you're done when the next set doesn't start. Apparently the developer never did a set of anything to know how the app should work. Why is it so hard to find a simple interval timer app?? ### 1/5 — iPad *2016-02-16, version 2.0* Does not work on iPad. ### 1/5 — Refund please! *2015-05-24, version 2.0* The timer pauses on its own, hangs on app switch and it makes no sound. Uninstalling after 5 mins of use. Unfortunately I was trying to use it for something important like timing my son's medication. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Works good. *2018-02-03, version 2.1* Works good. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-06-02, version 2.1* I had a shoulder fracture months ago and have to do isometric exercises like you said in description. This app fits perfect to me. Thank you! ### 5/5 — + *2017-02-23, version 2.1* Отлично для часов. ### 5/5 — Very good timer *2016-10-16, version 2.1* Very good timer, but timer is resetting on watch when screen is turning off. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2016-08-27, version 2.1* Спасибо за отличное приложение без встроенных покупок и лишний хрени. Простое и очень удобное. ### 5/5 — Simple. Perfect. *2016-04-13, version 2.1* Great for exercise intervals! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
