It took some trial and error to learn how to use it. Some instructions would be helpful. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-06-05, version 2.1* Best timer app ### 5/5 — Can't believe this is free *2017-05-15, version 2.1* Just what the title says. This is a great app and I'm so glad it was free. Let's you customize and save timers. Easy to customize. It's great. ### 5/5 — Love the simplicity *2017-04-26, version 2.1* Very nice and easy! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-04-15, version 2.1* By far the best workout timer I've found. Very customizable. Even looks good. Go straight for the upgrade; it's well worth the five bucks. ### 5/5 — Easy to customize *2017-04-14, version 2.1* Although I'm using the free version, which evidently is the "lite" app, there are plenty of useful features for timing workouts and intervals. I'm using it for my physical therapy stretches so I don't have to count out the seconds in my head. I like it! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-02-02, version 2.1* Great app for hi low intensity interval training ### 5/5 — Great technical flexibility *2017-01-04, version 2.0* Great app for technical running pace interval set ups. Very easy to use. Graphics are fantastic. Let me plan my half Marathon with customized intervals in 5 min. Love it ! ### 5/5 — Great app for customizing workout tempos. *2016-12-19, version 2.0* Was looking for a way to hit correct tempos for weight workouts. This is it. Very flexible, customizable timers. Put multiple timers into a group and call it a workout!😀 This new version is an improvement some places, broken code in others. Music restarts after a pause even though I've selected play through pauses. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very deceptive - be aware *2022-03-21, version 2.1* Don't really know if this is great app or not. You can use it from about 5 minutes then you reach the limit and have to purchase it. Extremely underhanded in my opinion. Would love to Have tried it fully for At least one workout but didn't even get that far. Price isn't the issue. I hate downloading useless apps. ### 1/5 — Stops music. Sound stops. Not quality *2021-05-10, version 2.11* This used to be the best workout timer out there. I used it for 4 years no problem. A few months ago it began to stop my music during workouts randomly. Can’t figure out why. Now the interval sounds won’t work half the time. This is trash. ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything in the app! *2020-02-06, version 2.6* It just wants me to just buy crap within the app! Not worth downloading ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-08-06, version 2.1* I paid for the no ad version and still get ads this is not good ### 2/5 — Nasty ads *2016-10-23, version 1.4* Много отвратительной рекламы, пользоваться сложно ### 4/5 — Review for App *2021-06-14, version 2.11* It’s pretty good!! ### 4/5 — Needs a “for time” timer option *2020-08-21, version 2.10* Great app. This timer app has everything except a way to time workouts where you don’t know how long they will take. Some call this a “for time” workout where you do a prescribed amount of reps/sets for as long as it takes to finish. Easily 5 stars if that feature is added. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Keeps Me Focused on Rep *2018-08-21, version 2.1* Clunky edit to set-up but having the timers and exercise announcements keeps me focused on form instead of the next exercise. I’ve been using the app for 2 years. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2017-01-07, version 2.1* This app is phenomenal and gets the job done. Easy to use and no defects whatsoever. One thing I'd like to see is lock screen notifications after each interval is complete (that says the name of the next interval) since I mostly use the app in background. Other than that, it's a great app! ### 4/5 — Excellent but... *2016-12-29, version 2.0* This has been a great timer app that I've been using with my workouts for a long time. I've had no complaints and nothing but good to say. That has changed, however, with the latest updates. Not that most of the updates aren't useful, but asking whether to save a workout after every time the timer is used can be burdensome. This has made it so I can no longer use this timer to time the rest period between my strength training sets, as I have to stop and tell it to not save the workout in history before moving on to my next set. This option should be able to be turned on or off either overall for the app or for each individual workout timer. Otherwise, I don't think this timer can be beat. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-16, version 2.11* I’ve been using this app for years and really like it. Just noticed that with a small one time fee it offers so much more. ### 5/5 — User Friendly *2024-06-26, version 2.11* Easy to use and you are able to customize your workout according to your needs. ### 5/5 — Best Features in a Timer! *2020-09-17, version 2.10* I’ve tested over a dozen timers and none of the others have the sweet combination of factors that Workout Timer has: - the level of customization. - the extensive bank of good sound effects. - the ability to skip ahead. - the variations of templates. - the color schemes and design. - the one time cost of $5 as opposed to a subscription for the full version which I find absolutely worth it! The above is an incomplete list as I haven’t even explored the full range of this app. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Convenient / Versatile *2020-04-01, version 2.7* I use this for my HIIT sessions. Super customizable and great for any purpose. Thanks workout timer ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-06-19, version 2.1* Works just as I wanted. Love the fact that I can create names in the intervals to remind me of what to do. It would be nice if the songs could start at a random point though. Tired of hearing the first minute or two of a song when I’m doing 1 and 2 min intervals. ### 5/5 — The BEST *2018-08-04, version 2.1* This timer is the most versatile one that I’ve tried, and I have tried several. I use the app mainly for training on heavy bag, speed bag, and jumping rope. Easy to set time for multiple rounds with rest periods between rounds. I won’t be searching for another workout timer - this one is perfect. ### 5/5 — The best time app with heart rate *2018-04-08, version 2.1* I’ve tried a bunch and did a lot of research, but this one never came up in reviews. So I decided to take a chance. I could not be happier with this app. It does everything and more that I wanted. Great job on design, display, and features!! ### 5/5 — This is the fight app *2018-03-24, version 2.1* Very useful app Great for all types of workouts or activities ### 5/5 — The best, app fantastica. Miglior timer x Hiit , Circuit e workout *2017-09-29, version 2.1* Potete crearvi tutti i workout che desiderate , HIIT, workout da palestra, circuiti... Impostare un avviso intermedio, una voce di avviso... E tanto altro... La migliore. Best timer ever for everything from HIIT to gym workout to Circuit... Something you Need to have for your workout. ### 5/5 — Customizable intervals *2017-08-21, version 2.1* I love that I can set a different number of intervals/length of time every day...and I hope muscle confusion works that way! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
