### 5/5 — Good Timer App

*2026-06-08, version 1.1.8*

I use the app for eye screen breaks while using my iPhone or iPad. I set the prep time to zero. I set the work time to 20 minutes. I can change the break times to my preference. The standard is the 20-20-20 rule. I like the 20-20-30 rule better. I also like the Rounds option. It allows me to set time limits spent on my iPhone or iPad. When I want to browse the internet for over an hour using my iPad, I’ll set the app timer at four 20 minutes of screen time with four 30 second eye breaks, and set the Rounds to 4. The 80 minutes is my quit time so I don’t end up glued to the iPad screen for hours.

### 1/5 — No sound if anything else running

*2024-02-24*

No sound if anything else running

### 1/5 — Fails often

*2022-12-09*

About half the time the notifications between sets fails to go off. This is especially true when running the timers multiple times

### 5/5 — Everything I needed !

*2022-07-07*

This app has everything I need in a simple interval timer and nothing I don’t, and no other costs. Took me 30 seconds to learn how it works. It has made my PT simpler in that no more fumbling with a watch to time tasks. The audible beeps mean I don’t even need to see my device during exercises. Highly recommended for the casual user.

### 5/5 — Sleek and efficient

*2022-05-06*

No unnecessary frills.

### 1/5 — Absoulute rubbish

*2021-10-05, version 1.1.8*

Don't waste your money cant do splits or time work to seconds

### 5/5 — Neat timer

*2021-05-27, version 1.1.5*

Does what it needs to, very simple to use, could maybe have a few more options but it works well for me.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-02-21*

I really like this interval timer app. Most of the other ones cost money, but this one doesn’t and gives you exactly what you are looking for. This is a great app!!

### 5/5 — Great App - Everything you need nothing you don’t

*2021-02-19*

Thanks for the free app. Works great. Very lean does exactly what is needed with no useless add ons

### 1/5 — While it runs in the background, it doesn’t make the sounds while I’m using another fitness app.

*2021-01-18*

Please update this app to make the sounds while running another app. I’ll be willing to change my review if you fix this.
