Prepare! — Start! — Release! — Repeat! — Switch! • ”I tried quite a few and this is the best one hands down!" • ”I might actually DO the exercises my PT prescribed, thanks to this app!" • ”I've looked at many timers for stretches, floor exercises, weight lifting... and this is the perfect one!" TIMER AND COUNTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY Keeps time, counts reps and sets, and lets you focus on your exercise, or something else—not the clock. YOU ENTER YOUR OWN EXERCISES Add instructions and photos, or a weblink, and set up your entire routine, exactly as prescribed by your therapist. Fine-tune cues and timers to match your personal pace. Note: this app does NOT offer pre-defined exercises (other than a few examples). KEY BENEFITS *** Some features are available only during the free trial or with a paid subscription as described below. • Stop counting seconds and reps—focus on proper form, breathing, or even reading or listening to music. • Clear voice and tone cues that work alongside music, podcasts, or when the app runs in the background. • Store all exercise instructions: notes, photos, and web links, with spoken guidance in a voice you choose. • Precisely adjust timers to fit your needs. • Schedule exercises and receive reminders. • Take notes after each exercise and email reports directly to your physical therapist. • Export workouts to PDF, including instructions, photos, and schedules. • Apple Health integration records exercise type and duration. MORE FROM THE REVIEWS • "The app is very easy to use and has resulted in the quality of my exercises increasing markedly … it does meet my needs to a "T"!" • "Best one ever. Have tried 2 others. At 65 stretching is important and this app helps." • "…it lets you focus on other things if you have simple boring exercises." BASIC VERSUS PAID SUBSCRIPTION CAPABILITIES Without a subscription, PT Timer provides limited basic functionality. During a free trial or an active subscription, you can create new exercises with instructions, timers, schedules and more. After the free trial, without a subscription, functionality for those exercises becomes limited. • In basic (unpaid) mode you can: view exercise routines created during a trial or subscription; view instructions and photos; receive already scheduled alerts; check off completed exercises; add and view notes after completing exercises; export to PDF. • Subscription-only features include: timing and counting; creating and editing exercises and workouts; modifying schedules; technical support. • NOTE: This app does not provide exercises or instructions (other than a few examples). You must enter exercises tailored to your own needs. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Several subscription options are available with different renewal periods.
