## What is Stretch Timer?

Stretch Timer is a simple timer for getting the perfect muscle stretches. When stretching, it is important to hold the stretch for the right amount of time to get all the benefits. You also need to keep track of how many reps (repetitions) you have done.

Spin the selectors to select the number of seconds for each stretch - up to 60 seconds – and each rest interval, then the number of reps required. When you tap the main display, you'll get a count-in, and then the display will guide you through each stretch and rest period, optionally guiding you with audible cues.

It's that simple to use, and simple to follow, which means you get the perfect stretches every time.

IMPORTANT: Always consult a health professional before commencing a stretching routine.

## Key features

- Customizable stretch and rest durations
- Set number of repetitions
- 5-second count-in before starting
- Audible tones for stretch start/end
- Simple and intuitive interface

### 1/5 — Needs support for shorter times.

*2019-08-15*

I bought this to be able to time some short-twitch exercises I need to do for PT (2 second hold 4 second rest 10 times) and was disappointed to find I cannot select durations shorter than 5 seconds. Please add support for times down to 1 second.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-07-07*

Sound not working

### 4/5 — Beeper wont work if music is in background

*2019-06-26*

If I am playing music in background beeper wont work. It seems I have to choose between having music or been alerted when my 30 seconds of stretching is up 😐

### 4/5 — Great app!!

*2018-08-22*

Love the app.  Would get 5 stars if it had the option to do more than 15 reps.  And also, sometimes the beeper on the timer will stop mid session.  Thanks for the app.  Has been a great help for my type A stretching!!
