### 5/5 — Perfect, simply what is needed

*2020-03-25, version 2.0.1*

I used this app today and has exactly what I need: customizable tabata timer, sound advice sono don’t need to look at the phone, the option to memorize your workout and have the exercise called in sequence as they should.
The essential to have a workout is all there.

### 1/5 — Drains battery

*2019-08-11*

App drains 50% of battery in the space of 45 minutes

### 4/5 — Very individual but I wish an update

*2018-12-10*

The adjustments are very easy and the timer is easy to use.

My  improvement wish:
The timer should continue it works when display it switched off and send the signals via tone or beep.

Currently the visuals need a lot of battery power when activated. 

For training in run mode I wish I could use only the acustic signals and save the battery power.

### 1/5 — Für App bezahlt... und Werbung ist immer noch da

*2018-05-06*

Inhaltlich macht die App was sie soll, da ist alles gut, 4 Sterne.

Aber eine Sache nervt mich unglaublich und deshalb gibt’s nur einen bis das behoben ist...

Liebe App-Entwickler... bitte entscheidet euch für ein Geschäftsmodell: finanziert euch durch Werbung oder verlangt Geld vom User. Beides für sich allein ist ok, aber beides zusammen nicht.

Sobald ein User Geld für eine App ausgibt sollte diese werbefrei sein.

### 1/5 — Can't play iTunes or other music at same time

*2016-09-18, version 1.5.0*

Every time I play my music and then try to start the timer it cuts my music off.

I have tried with spotify and then with my music on iTunes. Each time I go back to the app music dies! :(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-09-14, version 1.5.0*

Not impressed!!! As soon as you are 2 mins in on the timer it takes you out of it and onto the App Store, which it doesn't just do once but every few minutes or so. I spent more time trying to get the timer going again than I did actually working out. Terrible app!!!! Don't waste your time!!!!!

### 4/5 — Super

*2016-03-09*

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Und auch noch optisch sehr gut ungesetzt. Stern Nr. 5 gibt es, wenn die App die Apple Warch unterstützt. Ist ja sehr nahaliegend.

### 1/5 — Das

*2015-11-11*

Der letzte MÜLL.
