Press Play and Go 2 is the music manager for group fitness instructors. It allows playlists to be created from your fitness music for Les Mills programmes plus MOSSA, SOULfusion, David Lloyd, POP Pilates, and others. Even Beachbody if you go that far back. It recognises both the original and cover versions so you can create classes most suitable for the music licences where you teach. If you add the choreography that will also display for each track. Add music & choreography to your account on our secure cloud. It will download as required so you always have the perfect songs available to teach. No network issues when teaching because no streaming. Great for learning new releases as well as revising when mixing. Teach with confidence as the app plays with all the music and between-track pauses and alerts you have scheduled. Never run over time again. Quickly build new playlists. Add in pauses and alerts that match your classes. Practice with features allowing you to slow down and repeat sections. Teach your class and allow the app to cue the music and let participants know when the next track will be starting. Tired of having to keep adjusting the volume? All your songs in class automatically play at the same volume level. The problems of mixing the whisper-quiet old songs with the excessively-loud new ones are now gone. There's a big new display for teaching which is easily seen across a large room. Your participants will now have no excuse as they can see exactly just how much longer they have to survive to the end of the lunge track. You can turn on a display that syncs with the music to liven things up. You can switch dark mode on and off while teaching if you need to reduce the brightness. View your private reports on your classes and get a general overview of what others are doing around the world. Make your cooldown song quieter so your participants can hear you talk about what they have just achieved. You will always know the music licence for each song and where it can be played. Want a quick view of features? Have a look at the YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@PressPlayAndGo2 It automatically keeps a history of when and where you played every track. Easily keep a log of all your participant attendance so you can see how things are trending. Generate a report of all your classes in a time range to help with your invoicing. There’s loads of little features strewn throughout to make your role as an instructor easier and more fun. Want to use upper and lower-body warmups from different releases in Combat? Go ahead. Want to use tai-chi as the opening track in Balance by default? Enjoy. Want to go old-skool and run around the room at the end of track 8 in Combat? Get jogging. More big improvements over the first version of the app many instructors found indispensable? All songs and choreography documents are individually matched so no more needing to add the full release. Add your choreography, create a mix, and it will generate a document containing all the choreography for the songs in your mix. We now use our own server to avoid songs turning into versions you didn't expect and had trouble playing. You can have multiple devices and your playlists and class history will sync automatically across all of them. All the class formats of a quarterly release can now be created with a tap, not just the most common one. Create your account and you can upload 1GB of your media for free while you check out all the features. Some things remain the same in that this app does not sell nor provide access to any music files that are not your own. All music and choreography must be purchased and supplied by the user and should only be obtained by registered instructors either directly from the relevant company or authorised distributors. X3 Pty Ltd has no connection at all to any fitness product provider apart from participating in a lot of their classes over the last two decades.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Press Play and Go 2 at free with in-app purchases against Interval Timer's subscription. Press Play and Go 2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Interval Timer's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Press Play and Go 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Press Play and Go 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 33% of Press Play and Go 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interval Timer ships an update every 4 weeks, Press Play and Go 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
