Hova vs PepTimer

Hova is a guided workout app that turns your iPhone into a personal coach — for home, the gym, or anywhere you've got a few square feet.

Just press play.

PepTimer is an interval timer that shows you each exercise and calls out the next one. Everything you need to train is free: no ads, no account, no subscription. A voice counts you down and calls out what's coming – laid over your music instead of pausing it, even with your iPhone locked in your pocket. 80+ EXERCISES THAT SHOW YOU HOW • Every exercise has a small figure that demonstrates the move – some from the side and from the front. In lunges the figure switches legs • From strength and cardio to stretches like the downward dog or the cobra • Pilates moves like the Hundred, swimming and the half roll-down, also as the ready-made workouts "Pilates short" and "Pilates long" • During the get-ready countdown and every break, you see what's next, and the current exercise while you do it, too • Browse them in the Exercises tab, with search (under an exercise's old name too) and body-area filters, and build a workout straight from your picks A VOICE THAT GETS YOU THROUGH • Announces the next exercise, counts you down, calls halfway and the last round • Tells you when to switch sides in one-sided moves • Grace in English, Anna in German, whatever the app's language • Or no voice at all, tones only START RIGHT AWAY • "What do you feel like today?": ready-made workouts for Upper body, Legs & glutes, Core, Full body, No jumping, Tabata, Warm-up & Cool-down, Mobility and Pilates, the 7-minute workout among them • Tabata: classic, with exercises or in four blocks • A quick look at every exercise before you start • Templates for HIIT, EMOM, AMRAP, circuits and boxing rounds YOUR OWN WORKOUTS • As many as you like: exercises from the catalog or with names of your own • Add several exercises at once, with one length for all of them and rests in between if you like • In blocks: say 10 rounds of burpees, a break, then 10 rounds of planks • Drag to reorder, and undo a delete • Share by link: whoever opens it adds your workout in one tap EVEN WITH THE SCREEN LOCKED • Announcements and tones keep going when you lock the screen or switch to another app • On the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island: the time left and a bar of every phase of your workout APPLE WATCH AND APPLE HEALTH • Your iPhone's workout on your wrist too: the phase, the time, the exercise and what comes next • A vibration at every phase change, even with your wrist down • Your heart rate while you train • Pause, resume, skip and end right from the watch • If you like, your workouts go to Apple Health, with or without a watch BUILT FOR TRAINING • Big digits you can read from the mat, portrait and landscape • Figure off, normal or large • Every phase has its own color • Tones: beep, gong, boxing bell or whistle • Vibration on every phase change • Announcement volume independent of your music • Your music dips for announcements – briefly, for longer or not at all • Announcements as captions if you like • Text grows with your text size, up to a cap that keeps every screen readable • The screen stays on while you train • A history of your sessions, with the time trained and the exercises skipped • Light, dark or whatever your iPhone uses PEPTIMER PLUS Buy once, keep it for good.
