Good but with a big problem…

Every time the app plays audio (like “321”) it mutes whatever audio is already playing (like workout music) and then doesn’t turn the music back up, which is super frustrating. Would love them to fix

Love this app.

I’ve used so many timers & can attest that this is the best. I use this app every day for so many different purposes. You can fully customize your timer to speak, beep, count down, tell you how many seconds or minutes left, and the list goes on. And it’s so easy to use.

To the developer: thank you for providing this app fully free. It truly deserves so much more likes & recognition.

The best timer I’ve ever seen

All the apps should be like this. This is a wonderful timer, I can write my circuit workout on a text file and then simply copy/paste in the app, that’s it! The timer is ready to run!

Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your workouts! Update Oct 2023: Just released new app ”WODbanger” - it has many same features as Ultra, but the workout after editing on iPhone, is executed on the Apple Watch.

Most Flexible Free Interval Timer

Clearly a lot of work went into making this app as flexible as possible. I’m surprised it has so little reviews here when other, simpler timer apps, are full of adds and in app purchases.

The text-based instruction format can be a little daunting at first, but the instructions and examples are clear.

Since timers are just specified as text, they’re easy to share with others.

I also love that the timer UI allows me to “preview” the timer by skipping forward and back between steps.

Thank You for this nice feedback!

Simple and customizable !

I tried several of similar apps very briefly, this one is the only one that suited me because it is both extremely easy to use and 100% customizable to make your own programs as you wish, without any limit. I use it daily. Thank you for it :)!
