WOD Maker
Read full descriptionHide full description
WOD Maker lets you build your own WOD from CrossFit movements, one pick at a time, and runs it as an interval timer exactly the way you built it. SET UP IN FOUR PAGES Mode → Moves → Repeat → Start. Each step is one full screen that turns like a page — swipe, or tap a step to jump. WOD BUILDER — PICK, PICK, PICK Choose your first move and the builder suggests the next ones, avoiding the body parts you just used. A balanced WOD in a few taps. SEE EVERY MOVE Tap the play button on any move for a motion card: an animated figure with the working muscles glowing, three form cues highlighted in time with the movement, drag-to-rotate and slow motion. THE TIMER SHOWS WHAT TO DO During the get-ready countdown you see the whole order at once. Each round shows the motion for that round's move, and every rest previews the next one. Portrait or landscape, it always fits on one screen. BODY MAP Each move's target muscles are colored on a body figure. The more your moves overlap, the redder it gets — see at a glance what you trained today. 20 RECOMMENDED WODS 10 · 15 · 20 · 25 minutes × 40/20 and EMOM, built around bodyweight and dumbbells, with sources. BENCHMARKS IN ONE TAP Fran, Grace, Helen, DT and Cindy. TIMER Tabata · 40/20 · EMOM · AMRAP · For Time · Custom. Sound, vibration, countdown beeps, keep-screen-on, and your own music files. Reps scale automatically to your work time. Korean and English. Works completely offline with no account or server, and collects no data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WOD Maker at none against GymTimer's 2. WOD Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). GymTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price there is nothing between them.
