Simple and reliable timers to use with your XF or XF style workouts. 4Time contains a standard timer, countdown timer, interval timer, lap timer, and even a fully programmable tabata timer. ◦ 4Time is the only timer in the App Store that allows you to use your second iOS device as a remote control! (in-app purchase required; both devices must be running same version of iOS). ◦ All timers allow you to tap the screen to add reps (except the lap timer, which allows you to add laps), helping you or a friend to keep count while you're working out. ◦ After you complete your workout, you're automatically shown your results (if available) displaying your completed reps for each round. This makes it easy to track your workout round by round and record this data to your personal log/journal easily. ◦ Tabata Timer: Allows you to set work, rest between intervals, rest between tabatas, number of rounds, and number of tabatas -- as well as a custom name for each tabata. Everything you need! ◦ 4Time also give you access to your device's music library so you can listen to that power song to push you the extra mile! ◦ Like to be original? 4Time offers several different timer sounds for you to choose one (requires in app purchase). **************************************************** If you encounter any problems with 4Time please email us directly (supportdreamworkshop@me.com) as opposed to leaving a negative review.

Wish it were easier to see whether you’ve met your Stand Hour yet? This app uses your HealthKit data to offer complications for your favorite Apple Watch faces that show your Activity Rings, plus a Stand Hour circle to show whether you’ve already earned it at a glance. Note: If the app is missing on your Watch after purchase, go to the App Store on your Watch to install. (Scroll to the bottom, click Account -> Purchased, and tap the download cloud next to Activity Rings+) - APPLE WATCH APP In the app, see a quick view of your Move/Exercise/Stand data and your familiar Activity Rings, with an added indicator showing whether you've met the current Stand Hour. Also see today's Steps at a glance—no more scrolling down to interpret your activity data! Tap the screen to switch to percentage view or Calories/Minutes/Stand Hours remaining. - COMPLICATIONS On newer Apple Watch faces (Meridian, Infographic, California, etc.), you can add complications that feature your Activity Rings with an added stand indicator that illuminates when you've met the current stand hour. On older Apple Watch faces, (Breathe, Modular, Colors, Simple, etc.), you can add a Stand Indicator that will be colored solid if you've met the current stand hour or will be a hollow outline if you still need to stand up. Note: Complications refresh in the background as often as Apple permits. Tap the complication to open the app if you'd like to refresh the data immediately. Your Stand Hour will always clear at the start of the next hour, so if you see Activity Rings+ lit up, you'll know you've hit it. If you have any issues with HealthKit permissions, make sure to grant permissions from your iPhone via Settings -> Privacy -> Health. If complications are not available immediately after installation, rebooting your Apple Watch usually does the trick!
