### 5/5 — WOD

*2026-07-08*

Easy to use, nice big numbers

### 5/5 — The Best

*2024-03-30*

This is my “go-to” timer. I don’t use anything else.  I put it on my mini iPad and a Bluetooth speaker.

### 5/5 — Nicely designed app

*2024-03-29*

Simple and well thought out. Does everything I needed and does it very well - I mainly wanted a count up timer in seconds (not showing the racing 1/100ths of a second like a stopwatch app - too much). It has count up, count down, tabata and more. Portrait and landscape mode. All works as expected. The settings allow you to turn off / mute all sounds with one click. And dark and light modes too. Brilliant. One wish: to be able to change the colour of the clock digits, I would prefer not to have red (a nice positive green or blue would be better, or plain white). Overall great app, and cheaper than many I’ve just searched through too. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Background counting

*2024-02-13*

Doesn’t keep counting if I leave the app and go to check something else in my phone!

### 1/5 — Love the way it looks. Timer stops if you use another app.

*2023-08-04*

This app looks great but if you switch to another app (as I do to look at the next exercise in my HIIT routine), the time pauses.

### 5/5 — intuitive

*2021-08-13*

works well, but timer stops if you switch to another app.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t get easier than this

*2021-04-09*

Super user friendly, I’ve tried many workout timer apps only to be frustrated by how complicated they get. This one is straight forward, set the timer and number of rounds and you’re good to go. 
Great job guys.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2021-02-22*

I’ve tried many free timer apps and have had to make so many workarounds for them to serve me. This app is a perfect, no nonsense app that’s tailored to the kind of programming I do. 

It sticks to the basics without adding ‘features’ that only further bloat the platform. 

Love the aesthetic, love the app.

### 3/5 — Seems like a good WOD timer

*2021-02-21*

Except it persistently asks me to rate it before I’ve had much of a chance to use it.   Give me a workout or two first please, then ask.  I’m rating it conservatively just so I can get rid of the persistent pop up.

### 5/5 — Best designed workout timer. Definitely worth $2

*2021-02-13, version 2.4.3*

I have tried many workout timer apps and this one is the best. It's easy to use and and it looks great. In fact, it mimics the look of the timers you see in a Crossfit box. 

Before the stopwatch starts there is a countdown timer. This allows me to get into position before timing things like handstands or L-sits. (This feature isn't mentioned in the app description but it should be.)

I've always thought that a workout timer should be this easy and attractive. But none of the ones I've tried have come close. This really is what I wanted all along.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-05-18

Version 3 is a major redesign of The WOD Timer. The app has been rebuilt with SwiftUI for a cleaner, more consistent interface. All core features (Count Up, Count Down, EMOM/interval, Tabata) are preserved and improved. The timer now follows the system light/dark appearance, and the UI has been updated for better usability. Several bugs were fixed, including the countdown display direction and timer restart behavior. The app continues to collect no data and requires no network access. No new permissions are requested.

### 2.5.1 — 2023-06-17

Fixes a crash that can occur when the timer is manually paused

### 2.5.0 — 2023-05-12

This version contains under the hood improvements to the app, so that I can easily and quickly release updates.

### 2.4.3 — 2020-03-30

- Fixed a potential crash of the timer
- Cleaned up the project for future improvements

### 2.4.2 — 2020-01-24

Minor update to fix an issue where the timer was not presented as full screen, and was easily dismissed.
