The countdown sound seems to play randomly, app is often not responsive and it doesn’t seem to work well in the background. I’m not a fan ### 3/5 — Dark theme *2026-03-22, version 4.0.1* Are you forgot about dark theme? The new design is blinding and impossible to use… ### 3/5 — I really tried to like it *2025-12-26, version 3.0.2* I’ve been trying to use the Repeat Timer pro paid for version over and over many times for the past few years. It continues to fail to meet my expectations. I’m sorry. It’s a well built app, but the user experience has some serious issues. 1) if you put the phone in your pocket while you’re using it, it’s constantly shutting off the timer and changing it switching it between different modes and timers You can’t run with this thing. 2) the timer clicks and notification noises are not very loud, so if you try to listen to music at the same time, your music just drowns out the timer clicks and beeps and doesn’t work. 3) Shutting off the screen to prevent miss operation doesn’t solve because none of the chimes sound and nothing sounds loud enough. It’s not hands-free operation. What I need is hands-free operation something where I can tell it what I wanna do what interval interval for intensity interval and for rest interval, and then be able to put it in my pocket and go run. It just doesn’t let you do that. ### 4/5 — Getting old and stale *2024-10-19* This is a useful app, but there are a few important things missing and hence the four-star rating. First, it would be great if the alarms in either the list or card view (the former be more intuitive) could be reordered manually. Second, I wish it were possible to stop or resume an alarm through the context menu in a locked screen, i.e. the menu to come out when a locked screen warning is tapped and held. Third, it would be very nice if it was possible to go directly from inside an alarm in the list view to the same alarm in the card view and vice versa. ### 5/5 — It’s great but… *2023-07-31, version 2.4* Make it easier to delete timers please I beg you. ### 5/5 — Most useful *2022-07-12, version 2.4* I love this app, I use it everyday, I use multiple timers for work, exercise, motivating my kids to get chores done etc. highly recommend. ### 5/5 — This app has Bluetooth only sound! *2022-03-18, version 2.4* Was struggling to find a timer app that would play sound through Bluetooth only and not through the phone. I was trying not to disturb those around me when I’m reminded to drink water every 15 minutes. Couldn’t find a timer app that wasn’t full of bugs that listed this feature or reviewers or google said the app had the feature. So I gave up and got the Pro for all of its other great aspects then was pleasantly surprised to find out it has this feature! ### 5/5 — Repeat Timer Pro *2022-01-04, version 2.4* Exactly what I’ve been looking for. My regular timer doesn’t seem to be able to signal repeating intervals without resetting after each period is completed. ### 5/5 — Excellent app... *2021-12-25, version 2.4* It does precisely what it claims to do. Good for timing wind sprints went on the treadmill. ### 5/5 — Keeps me on schedule *2021-10-24, version 2.4* I use this app for ALL events in my day to day activities. I have two jobs and taken care of my wife illness so I have a full schedule everyday. There are a lot features I use like the number of time I can set a timer to remind me to follow up on thing I have started but did not finish. ### 5/5 — Does what it says it does *2021-10-07, version 2.4* It’s easy to use and I haven’t run into any bugs. I use it to remind me to get up from my desk every 20 minutes. I also use it to hold a stretch for 1 minute with an 8 second interval to allow me to reposition for the next stretch. october 2021 i want to set it to cycle through 20 minutes, then 8 minutes then 2 minutes but i can’t figure out how to set 3 timers in a row. i now work in an office where i use earbuds for music most of the day and i miss a lot of the alerts somehow, and i don’t want to keep the screen open for this app all day, so i lose track of my stand/sit/walk cycles. *shrug* it’s still good enough for me that i keep on using it. ### 5/5 — Great timer *2021-08-25, version 2.4* I use this every day. Does its one thing really well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Always bugging me to give a review *2026-06-05, version 4.1* When starting up, this app always bugging me to give a review. ### 1/5 — Ruined a very useful timer *2026-03-22, version 4.0.1* Sometimes more data is just more numbers - and not helpful at all. I’m sticking with the old version. Thank you for making the old version available! ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-03-22, version 4.0.1* Don’t fix what isn’t broken ### 1/5 — Repeat Timer Pro: Countdown *2026-01-27, version 3.0.2* I need this to work even when my phone is turned off. The one that is free works better. I paid for this one several years ago and it worked then ### 1/5 — Useless if not on Apple Watch *2025-08-05, version 3.0.2* Irritated that his no Apple Watch function. It is for workouts that requires phone functionality can’t swim with your phone in hands!!!! ### 1/5 — Issues with sound! *2024-12-25, version 3.0.2* Waste of money to be honest, the app is thrash. Working only once in 5-10 times. Phone is not silenced, not in any kind of dnd modes, volumes are up. Really trashy app. ### 1/5 — Sounds gave up *2023-01-09* Worked fine for about a year 5* then sound disappeared 1*. I can’t update because it now needs IOS 14. What do you call a timer without sound? A waste of timer! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t repeat unless you’re on the app it’s self *2021-09-06, version 2.4* This totally defeats the purpose and a waste of my money. This doesn’t beep at you when you’re not on the app ### 1/5 — No *2020-02-14, version 2.2.0* I’ve set for repeat timer and app asks if “okay” with x number of repeats remaining . That is completely annoying. I specifically created x number of repeats. Yes I’m okay, that is why I created x number of repeats in the first place you morons. ### 1/5 — Phone has to be on? *2019-09-12, version 2.2.0* I’d like to use this for intervals while running, but keeping the screen on for hours sure drains the battery. There needs to be an option to have it run with the screen off. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super appli *2026-03-11* Merci pour votre appli super intuitive que j’utilise régulièrement. À quand une version sur apple watch ultra?? ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2026-02-21* The best app ever ### 5/5 — Great exercise/physical therapy timer *2026-02-07, version 3.0.2* I watch TV while I do physical therapy and use Repeat Timer Pro to both pace and count the exercises. So I don’t have to mentally count. If I have to hold an uncomfortable position for the therapy, I use interval for the hold time and the larger time for the interval and add one to the repeat time. I like to hear the interval ticking while I’m holding the uncomfortable position🙄. ### 5/5 — I’d pay for it *2025-09-11* Fantastic. Very versatile for my particular use. Would shell out for it if needed to. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-03-09* Perfectly designed functionality ### 5/5 — Love It *2025-02-02, version 3.0.2* Makes following my PT "easier." Well, it actually makes it harder because it removes the opportunities to cheat. ### 5/5 — Solid app easy to use *2024-11-18, version 3.0.2* Good for setting up timers for stretches or workouts, been using it for years, thanks so much ### 5/5 — Finally got it right! *2024-10-09, version 3.0.2* This took some experimenting. Sometimes I’m slow on the uptake. But this works great with my physical therapy exercises. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Really good for piano practice *2024-08-17, version 3.0.2* This app is a game changer. Several years ago I needed surgery on my hand, and then went for occupational therapy. The occupational therapist said that, for musicians, they love it when we practice 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break, then repeat. So I set the main timer for 25 and the interval timer for 5. After a few of these 25-5 sessions it’s important to take a longer break. This timer helps me to stay within those suggested parameters. I also use the app for other activities, but for musical practice it’s very helpful. ### 5/5 — Simple and super useful *2023-08-28, version 2.4* This is a great app for a variety of timed undertakings. Use it for stretching, mixed rebounding routines and writing pomodoros. No issues, works as intended and simple to set up once you get the hang of it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
