### 4/5 — TTP

*2020-07-18*

I like that I can personalize the intervals. I wish I could  play my own background music.

### 1/5 — Quirky

*2019-03-02*

Would be a great timer if the options worked correctly. I disabled the music option in the app but it still plays. If I lower the volume, even without the music options selected, I can’t hear the bell which renders it useless as I have to watch the clock. Also the intro is far too time consuming upon opening the app.

### 4/5 — Tabata timer

*2018-12-03*

Like timing intervals but don’t like that I can’t change music it picks

### 2/5 — If your screen goes to sleep, timer stops

*2014-02-15*

If your screen goes to sleep, the timer stops. If you are really committed to Tabata, you don't want to take a break to touch your screen. The app needs to work despite sleep like many other apps do.

### 4/5 — Mom

*2014-01-14*

I like it except that I don't get to choose what music I want to play in the background. Other than that it gets the job done!

### 3/5 — Gets the job done.

*2014-01-04*

I was looking for a timer for my work outs and this app does the job well. I like the custom timer feature where I can make a timer for my specific needs. The music feature is a little annoying in that you have no control over it. I would like the option to turn it on or off at the very least, and nothing as harder to work out to than some random track of an audio book.

### 5/5 — Love the timer

*2013-12-25*

I love being able to select as many rounds as I want. Other timers limit you to a traditional 8 rounds. I would like to be able to select my playlist instead of the timer selecting all of my music. A louder bell and 2-3 warning beeps for start / stop work approach would be great. All in all, it is my favorite workout timer!

### 1/5 — App crashes and freezes the moment you open it.

*2013-10-09*

As stated in the title, the app freezes and crashes the moment it starts up.

### 5/5 — Mogal89

*2013-09-18*

I really enjoy being able to set my own interval and having my own music for my workouts!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2013-09-10*

Great app. Never wrote review before but this app deserves it. If your looking to do intervals, tabata, crossfit style workouts this app is all you need. I run it through my jam box speaker and works great. Only thing I would improve is the loudness of the bell.
