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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Goes to sleep mid workout! *2013-05-16* This app goes to sleep mid workout , making the timer stop. Useless! I spent more time waking up the phone than working out! ### 2/5 — Not so cool *2012-04-20* As if the iPhone screen isn't small enough. The timer is tiny in the middle and the bell isn't loud enough. ### 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. ### 3/5 — It's OK, but Could be better *2013-07-28* Doesn't run in the background or if your device goes into screen lock/off. Can't set volume or change sounds for alarms already available. Really like the concept! Would love to be able to pick or at least play my own work out music ### 3/5 — So-so *2013-06-10* I use it when I'm planking and 1 I have issues setting the timer for more than 360 sec with no breaks. ### 3/5 — OK for free *2012-09-30* Time intervals are great, but bell needs to be louder. Include ability to change music selection from timer screen ### 4/5 — TTP *2020-07-18* I like that I can personalize the intervals. I wish I could play my own background music. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-03-27* Works great, awesome custom timer setting! ### 5/5 — Interval timer *2012-10-22* I love it! Especially the music & the ability to customize. ### 4/5 — Tabata timer *2018-12-03* Like timing intervals but don’t like that I can’t change music it picks ### 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! ### 4/5 — Great timer *2013-04-25* Like using it and would have given it 5 stars, but once the timer is running after a while the screen goes into power save mode. Wish the screen stayed on the whole time while the app was running. ### 4/5 — Timer *2013-03-23* Works well convenient for travel use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
