Don’t know why, I try again last week and is working perfectly. Good set of pre-loaded timer, custom timers are easy to program and seems to work properly. ### 3/5 — Disappointing update *2015-03-17, version 2.0.3* I use the tabata timer quite a bit with my clients and this update has only made it worse. Especially at the end of the 8th round there is no definitive end to the round! ### 4/5 — TACFIT Timer is a great tool *2015-02-08, version 1.1.5* Ideally suited for the TACFIT 26 program, it works equally well with TACFIT Commando, TACFIT Warrior, and TACFIT Firefighter. Does not really have the options to run a timer for TACFIT Mass Assault or TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz. A great deal at .99$ The TACFIT programs are training protocols that transform your movement potential, strength, endurance, emotional stability under pressure, and recovery from tactical operations. Would get 5 stars if it had a 20 minute 20/10+1 timer and customized alerts. ### 3/5 — Works for TACFIT but needs some work *2012-04-02, version 1.1.1* This app has some key-features which can't be found on most timer-applications out there; the ability to track performance progress in RPE, RPT and Heart-Rate is a major one - you can even export a report in .txt to upload your performance and keep records but, you can only access this if you complete the circuit or "protocol" you've selected (which is no accident I'm sure). This application does need some work though; for starters, you cannot use this app while the phone's screen is locked which means, if you plan on plugging in your earphones, blast out tunes and keep in time with your workout - better come up with another plan. In the same avenue, there is no independent volume control for the timer - the output you get is equal to the general output of the phone which means, again if you plan on playing music and using this app, you have to make due with the default volume mix of the app. Tracking your score is all there, but you cannot enter the results of an exercise set after the set has come and gone; this may be a weakness on my party but in a 30 or 60 recovery interval, I can't always enter all my results, not to mention that I do really want to slobber my phone up with sweat. Using the score keeping is also not very intuitive and requires practice and skill. Finally, I will add this as I know how popular this type of feature can be, even though I know I wouldn't use it; Facebook status updates auto posting results - even if it's just the time spent doing TACFIT. I'm sure the motivational benefits of such a feature would be of great help to many. ### 4/5 — Tacfit timer *2012-03-20, version 1.1.1* Very good app. But would be nice if there was some info on how to use it to its full potential. ### 4/5 — Needs a "Next Exercise" button. *2012-01-28, version 1.1.1* This is a great app, however, it would be nice to be able to skip to the next exercise. If I do 3 rounds per exercise, it works fine, but, if I want to do 4 rounds, I have to basically leave and restart the app. The TacFit program is an awesome and a challenging program, but I think that feature would make it that much better for those who are still starting out. ### 3/5 — OK, but needs some improvements *2011-12-27, version 1.1.1* I've been doing TacFit programs for a couple of years now and this App doesn't really meet the standards. It's a decent timer, but really needs some improvements. For instance: Missing the Mass Assault protocol. The 4/1x4 protocol gives no cues during the 4 minutes. What if you're doing the 8 exercises for 30 seconds? (especially if you need to switch sides at 15 seconds?) Main screen should show something other than "Protocol 1", "Protocol 2", etc. How about "EMOTM"? The ability to edit or add timers would help alleviate some of these issues. I do realize this is only .99, but Gymboss was better for free (although it is currently broke for iOS5 which they claim they're fixing, but it seems to be a problem for them.) There are now other editable timers out there that will likely serve your purpose better. ### 5/5 — I bought it and it is on my front page. *2011-09-12, version 1.1.1* =) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-08-09, version 1.1.1* Could not live without! ### 5/5 — N/A *2011-06-08, version 1.0* Great timer for anyone doing any tacit CST protocol. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update - what have you done? *2025-10-18, version 3.0.1* This app used to be completely brilliant. The update has destroyed it. What have you done? ### 1/5 — Lost all my custom timers *2025-10-14, version 3.0.0* I’ve had this timer for a long time and created a lot of custom timers. I had great success using this app. Last night they updated and changed the custom application. All my custom timers were gone. I tried to reinstall them and the old formulas don’t work. What a waste. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-06-01, version 2.1.4* Love the app but it now crashes all the time which makes it tough to use ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-11-27, version 2.1.4* Great that it has all the protocols but the app doesn’t work properly. It always crashes when you open a timer and won’t close. ### 2/5 — Don't like the new version *2015-02-23, version 2.0.2* This one has too many bells and whistles!! The old version played behind my music; this plays over it, thus lowering my music volume.. Whatever happened to KISS (Keep It Simple Stu...) ### 2/5 — music should be configurable, not mandatory *2012-12-02, version 1.1.3* I use this timer with a wide variety of clients and the music is not appropriate for all of them. Please update the app so it's possible to turn the music off. ### 3/5 — Can’t play music while using the app. *2025-10-17, version 3.0.0* You can’t have music playing and have a timer going. When the app starts making any noises associated with the countdown the music stops and you have to manually press play again ### 3/5 — Disappointed with the new update *2025-10-17, version 3.0.0* I use the TACFIT timer almost daily but recently I noticed that when a round ends and the buzzer sounds, it disconnects my music app. I usually to listen to music in the background during the entire workout, but this update makes that impossible. I’ve tried it with Pandora and YouTube Music. Is there a way to keep music running in the background? Super frustrating. ### 3/5 — X *2025-10-16, version 3.0.0* Music doesn’t overlay on timer anymore. ### 3/5 — Please fix some timers *2022-01-12, version 2.1.4* The 30x30 5 4 and maybe another two don’t count correctly. It stops at four exercises. Annoying. I love this app but … ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-10-18, version 3.0.1* The new update fixed the music problem, thank you! I do wish the countdown clap would be a bit louder, but other than that, the timer is great. ### 5/5 — Make it easier to get to the menu *2023-10-27, version 2.1.4* Unless I’m missing something the only way to get back to the home page of the app is to quit it entirely. Can you make a return/settings button somewhere? ### 5/5 — Love the new look and timer overall *2020-09-22, version 2.1.4* This is a great timer for TACFIT programs & even for any other program. Has a little learning curve for the custom timers, would love to see a “help” tab with instructions in the future. Would fit nicely on the splash page. Overall happy with the new look and improvements! ### 5/5 — Perfect for tacfit workouts *2020-02-07, version 2.1.1* This timer includes all the tacfit protocol timers set and ready to go. Has a 5 second countdown buzzer, a bell halfway through the intervals, and built in timer to monitor heart rate and recovery. Awesome! ### 5/5 — 택핏 지도에 편리합니다~^^ *2015-08-25, version 2.0.4* 택핏 지도에 편리합니다~^^ ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-07-29, version 1.1.5* Love having all of the different options. All great challenges so you don't stagnate. Works great. ### 5/5 — Great app for TACFIT *2012-12-03, version 1.1.3* Use it on my regular training for tacfit, and does all I need. Count reps, have all 6 protocols, tell me when to rest... It does everything! ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-08-01, version 1.1.2* Great for TACFIT training ### 5/5 — Awesome app awesome system *2012-06-05, version 1.1.2* Best of the best of Tactical Fitness TACFIT Worldwide ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-10-11, version 1.1.1* The TACFIT timer and TACFIT system is amazing. I suggest it to anyone whos serious about their training. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
