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!

Verdict
