Round Timer for Positive User Reviews
✓ On ipod touchSound not working on touch other than its excellent.Version: 0
✓ ExcellentExcellent App if you box etc and like listening to music...whilst at the same time not having to worry about keeping track of round times.Version: 0
✓ PERFECTThe best .99cent app ever! the screen stays lit the whole time while i work out. And it stays lit GREEN/YELLOW/RED--the way it should be. just start music and then start timer and the sound will amplify thru the system so you don't miss the sound. the only thing that would be more useful would be more bell sounds for the end/beginning of the rounds(right now the have 1ring and 7rings) please make 3 and 5--- tip of the hat to who ever is responsible for making this fighting app right. Matthew Burke.Version: 0
✓ A promising young app.A much needed app in need of some improvements, but definitely worth the price as it is. The timer seems to stop once the auto lock is activated, so we'll see if there is a fix for that. Some different sounds were just added which was my number one gripe, so many thanks to the developer. This is a great app for workouts, stretches, etc. I'd love to see a variable round times option where you can set a bunch of different times for each round/rest period etc. For example: 1st round 2:00, 2nd round 4:00, 3rd 5:00 etc etc, then just loop back to the first round once it done one pass through. Either way, if you workout at all, I recommend buying this app..Version: 0
✓ Great app, but....Great app - can't fault it for functionality but the interface is so dry! That's the only reason I dropped a star. There re so many possibilities design wise (I am a designer!), the icon cube should be better designed, or have some cool boxing images in the background on the different colour screens, or LED digits on the timer, or use a cool font like HTF Champion (font designed to match old boxing posters) - Could look so cool guys! Come on - please! it pains me! ;-) Great job though on the app and so useful! Well done!.Version: 0
✓ Great AppWorks great! Now I won't have to lug my 5 pound interval timer to the gym every time I want to hit the bag. Some reviewers complain the sound doesn't work. I thought it was broken too until I realized the iPhone cannot be set to silent mode. Once I flipped the switch, it worked great!.Version: 0
✓ For Fighters, not MeditatorsI almost rated this too low, but, in fairness to the developer, it does what it says it does. For those of us who want to do other types of rounds (like yoga or meditation rounds), the alarming sounds the developer chose to signal the "end of round" and the buzzer at the "end of rest-period" are much too jarring for doing quieter types of "rounds." Since it was only a dollar, it was worth finding out what it could do, but I *** really hope *** someone develops a zen timer, zen chime, or some nice sounding bell (chime, tingsha, singing bowl -- maybe even the user's choice ??) with different numbers of rounds and lengths of time for each round. If you want a timer that makes it sound like you are in the ring, this is the one for you..Version: 0
✓ Cool App!!This makes life n training a whole lot better. Superb!!!.Version: 0
✓ Good OverallServes the purpose well. If I could make some changes: 1) Allow iPod use simulatenously with ap so you can listen to music and use the round timer at the same time. 2) Add a Stop feature so you can pause the round and not have to reset the round completely. 3) Add a feature for amount of rounds. When I'm doing intervals, I don't like to count what round I'm doing, but rather concentrate on the exercise at hand. Great app overall though!.Version: 0
✓ Great TimerThe current IOS has messed it up though. I can not change settings! It is all squished to the left..Version: 7.0
✓ Not just for boxing, also for circuitsI find this app useful for timing my circuit training. For example 5 sets of 30 secs for each activity with 10 secs rest between each. A warning sound tells me when I am about to finish an exercise. Useful.Version: 7.2
✓ Right on targetI have tried other similar apps but none provide what this one does - a simple, yet flexible way to get an app set up for timing intervals of any sort. I much prefer it over anything else I have sampled..Version: 7.2
✓ WOWOMG ty ty ty. I was using the timer to count down during intervals and the stop watch to time how long I was resting, this app is fantastic. If you take suggestions here's 2 that can make this app perfect for nearly all circuit trainers which will probably net you more people to sell to than just a ring timer. 1) most times when doing circuits you'll be doing a few things, say, 60 seconds of sprints followed by 30 seconds of pushups, followed by 2 minutes of jumping rope followed by 30 seconds of pullups, followed by etc. Currently you can only really use this for a split. You can set the master timer for how long you want to do 2 things and you can have the "warning" go off when it's time to switch. Adding multiple warnings or even better simply letting the user set up multiple timers where each timer starts after the previous one stops would be best. That way a person could set it up for any number of consecutive exercises in a circuit followed by the rest timer. 2) you should let users set how long the app runs. Currently it just runs infinitely, letting the user choose by either number of circuits, or number of minutes would be great. Then the user can set it and just work out till it stops without having to count how many circuits they've done or worry about looking at the clock to see how much time has passed. That said 5 stars for what it does already, you've made my workouts so much easier!!!.Version: 0
✓ THANK YOU FOR THE PAUSE BUTTON!Ask and you shall recieve. I left a suggestion and the delivered. Well worth the price. This sofware will only get better because the listen to their users. Thanks for listening. IT NEEDS A PAUSE BUTTON. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET THE TIME. SOMETIMES WHILE SPARRING MY INSTRUCTOR WILL STOP US TO GIVE INSTRUCTION AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO PAUSE THE TIME. THEN RESTART IT AFTER INSTRUCTION..Version: 0
✓ Great for all types of interval trainingThis is a great app for intervals. As well as the audio cues, the big numbers, and colours (green = go, red = stop/pause) are great as you can concentrate on your activity and not lose your focus when checking your timing. Easy to set up and use first time. Even better that it works with your own music underneath..Version: 0
✓ Great appSimple, does what it's supposed to, user-friendly, awesome!.Version: 7.0
✓ BrilliantDoes exactly as described. Great for hitting the bags or working the pads and can also play music in background!.Version: 0
✓ A good app, but...This is a good app and does just what it says. Big numbers and counts down the rounds with or without music and customised sounds. Currently you can only set and store 1 timer. This can be quite limiting if you need to do a number of different activities. It would be great if you could add multiple timers, then sort them into a playlist. Then it would be a 5 star app..Version: 0
✓ JHSo far I think the app is excellent, but the only change I would like to see is making the 5 second wait time before a round starts either be optional or be removed. There are times when i need the timer to start immediately and not have to wait 5 seconds..Version: 0
✓ A great tool!!!Over all a great program especially for conditioning! I'm using it with an external speaker when I train or train others. It now even has a pause button! This app. Is a must 2 have!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Just what i needed...This program is truly "plain and simple", which is all i was looking for. also, it performs FLAWLESSLY on my ipod touch gen2 with os3.0. i like the fact that i can play my own music, and the timer doesn't interfere with it whatsoever, except for the programmed round-start and warning bells. awesome little app..Version: 0
✓ PerfectI want to get back to hitting my bags after years off. Mostly for a good cardio but also to keep my reflexes sharp. It dawned on me that there might be timer apps for my iPhone. Sure enough there are. I downloaded some free apps to try and they were ok but either I couldn't fine tune the rounds to the seconds or if I could the graphics weren't appealing. And you couldn't save your workout info. Finally I purchased this one which does it all. Great interface, easy to use with many sounds and fine tuning of times and the ability to name and save your workout plan. I plan on slowly increasing the duration as I progress and this allows me to do that. For .99 you can't beat it. Highly recommend and there are many other uses besides the one I am interested in I'm sure. Thanks for a great app.Version: 7.0
✓ Very nice but ... (v2.2)Like several of the reviewers below I find this app to be really useful beyond the "ring"; cross and interval training in particular. One feature that would make this app a more complete timer app is the ability to add multiple warnings for each round. For example, if I have a 5min round I would like to hear a warning when 1min, 20sec, 10sec, 5sec, etc is left in the round. For any sort of training, this type of scheme allows you to pace yourself without constantly checking your watch/timer..Version: 0
✓ Thank godHoly Crap somebody got it right!!!! All the other apps missed the mark. I’ve been boxing for almost 20 years and most apps mess up a round counter. These developers realized all most of us want is: 1. Program how many rounds 2. Program how long the rounds are 3. Program a warning and rest time 4. Have the app still work if you close the screen. 5. Have my music playing in the background. This sounds simple but all the other apps in the store mess up one or all these things. Can you add a pause button and a button to move back and forward a round. Sometimes I have to stop to adjust something and need to pause or back up a round..Version: 7.1
✓ Great app!!This is got to be the best app for a boxer. I do amature boxing myself and just recently got my own bag at home, and I can now time myself as I would in the gym with the great option of rounds and rest time. Just hit start and wait for the bell and u won't need to look at your phone, just like your very own trainer..Version: 0
✓ Great AppLove the app. Needs some adjustments but all works well..Version: 7.0
✓ Great Interval TrainerGreat interval trainer. Only suggestion I have for improvement would be to have the option for a warning sound/time during rest period - I only mention this because sometimes I can not view screen during workout and it would be good to have some notice when the rest period is about to end so i can prepare for the next interval session..Version: 0
✓ FINALLYWhy was this so hard?? Maybe I wasn't searching with the right key words, I dunno. But this round timer does it right-- interval time, number of intervals, rest time between each interval, pause before start, and adjustable warning tone before times-up. Plus I can finally play my music behind it! I don't know if Apple finally allowed that option for 3rd party apps, or if these guys are just more clever than most. I don't care, it works. Also, in consideration of that feature, the timer volume can be adjusted independently of the iPod volume. This is perfect for my Kung Fu training! Thank you!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!I just downloaded this today and used it when teaching my cardio circuit class. It was perfect for that! Best $0.99 I've spent in a long time..Version: 0
✓ AwsomeAwesome just what I have been looking for to do my boxing training!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Round TimerTHink this is a great app, works with no problems for me, timer and music are play/pausable from timer screnn, fade, new song, etc settings for each round during intervals... Tabata timer already avail., but can be modified and you can creat and save your own timer set ups. I use this app daily for various types of classes, strict workouts or fight drills... can't really say enough about it... nothing but praise for the app..Version: 5.3
✓ Good, simple softwareDoes exactly what it says on the tin. Very useful software, but would be even better if you could set intervals shorter than 5 secs.Version: 0
✓ Excellent AppFor a device that does the same thing, you might pay over $100. This is a great addition to the iPhone. You don't have to watch the timer, but it's there if you need it. I work out to my music while having this going. The notifications keep me on pace and help me have a great work out. It could use a few tweaks, but for the price of a soda, you cannot complain. The dev even provides e-mail for suggestions and listens to us reviewers (greatly appreciated). I love this app, one of the highest ranked for my person use, and it's just cool to have a round timer on my phone instead of buying a standalone device. Vive le iPhone!.Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app. Every one who trains with an iPod needs one. PLEASE fade music in an out around the round bells. Tough to hear while music plays. Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Great tool!I have had this app for some time now and I really like it. Please do an update to set number of rounds and add more cool sound effects! Great app!.Version: 0
✓ ProblemI use this to time my running and walking it's very useful, but I listen to an audio book when I run and when one of the buzzers goes off it jumps forward a chapter so not useful in that respect! Sorry chaps, until that's fixed I'll be using something else!.Version: 0
✓ Works wellOverall a great simple application. Very simple and allows short intervals. well worth the price. Things I would like to be added: Round Counter(count down) Customizable sounds.Version: 0
✓ Awesome app for the priceThis timer is very versatile for MMA, Boxing and even works great for crossfit workouts. It is easy to use and can usually be heard over music playing on the ipod part of your iphone. For the price it is well worth it..Version: 0
✓ Versatile timing toolWhatever issues some prior purchasers have had with the software seem to have been corrected. I use this timer for lots of different drills. The only thing I can think of that would improve this tool is the ability to program a "workout complete" sound once all the sets are done..Version: 5.3
✓ Great but not perfectGreat App although the sounds need to be louder over music..Version: 0
✓ Update !***** back to five stars , I use this App all the time when I go training. It took me a few downloads to find this App , so there are a few other timers in my App heap. Also since the update , there has been a few updates to cure issues so customer care excellent. ***** Nb. Delete any saved preset with problems , and all will work fine. Don't worry excellent app. New feature to save work outs for easy access. However only issue I can see at the moment is when you load a saved routine it doesn't change the title , although the correct workout & timings appear. A must for anyone who do interval style training, and I am sure they will fix the small teething problems with the update, which doesn't affect usability. ***** Updated ! Still having problems opening saved work outs with correct saved title..Version: 5.3
✓ Simple timer for interval type training.I've been doing a lot of interval style training lately (HIT, Tabata, etc) and my gym lacks sufficiant wall clocks and constantly trying to keep my eye on my iPhone stop watch breaks my rythm. But this app works great for my particular timer/interval needs. Yes, I'd like to set how many rounds I'm going to do. Yes, the sound choices are limited and not of the greatest quality. But they work for my workouts. Although I'd love to have better/more samples to choose from. Was well worth .99 for me..Version: 0
✓ Great appI plug my phone into the stereo when training. I can listen to music from my phone while using the round timer. Great app!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Better than ever!!!!!!!!Just updated the app. It didn't work at first so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentPerfect. Can see all setting on one screen, totally customizable, can save multiple timer profiles, good selection of sounds. I highly recommend this app..Version: 5.3
✓ Pretty good (1 minor bug)I've been using this for over a year, and it's pretty good. You can name custom round times, so they are easy to access. Good for martial arts/boxing instructors, as you can flick between different round times, durations, repeats, et cetera very easily. Also, it has a pause button so you can start and stop music. It also fades the music when the bell goes, which is a nice touch. The only small bug is that sometimes the music stops when the bell rings. This happens when you start a new round sequence from scratch (on about 4th or 5th go). If this was fixed, I would give it five stars..Version: 7.0
✓ Listento the reviews!Good app I'll give it 5 stars when it fades out the music. It's hard to hear it while music is playing so update it please. Updated and it's perfect now..Version: 0
✓ Great app !!!!This app is absolutely perfect!!! I cant believe i paid so very little for it. I've been involved in fighting sports for 20 years and during that time i have spent a ton of money trying to find a timer like this one. Perfect for any type of interval training. I've used it for bag work, shadow boxing, forms, low weight high rep weight lifting and road bike work. The updates now allow for any sound bit to be used. If you want "mic" from rocky to tell you that are going to have "greasy fast italian speed!" at the beginning of each round... No problem. Buy this app now, then do what i did... Gather up all your old round timers and list them on ebay..Version: 0
✓ Very useful!I use this for physio, and it is SO much less hassle than trying to use the timer app and trying to remember how many reps you've done....Version: 4.0.1
✓ Don't update app!!!Good program,met all my needs. My negative comment is the app will not allow you to use it after you agree to update!!! The program locks you out..You can't u s e it!.Version: 0
✓ AceThis app does exactly what you want, simple!!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Great Little AppLetting music play alongside app is great. A sound at the warning Time(like clacking sticks) and this would be perfect- maybe an update. Well worth downloading for punchbag training..Version: 0
✓ Good appReally like the app. It is easy to use and works well for doing interval training. I tried a couple of others and this is the best one so far. I would suggest fading music when bell goes and allowing us to enter how many rounds we want..Version: 0
✓ Perfect for tabata trainingI've been using this for solo tabata training with kettlebells and it's perfect, just what I need. Highly reccomended -Andy.Version: 0
✓ MrGreat round timer, simple and effective.Version: 0
✓ Good tool, but needs numeric audio counterSo I usually use the timer while listening to music, however, I never know what round it is, because I'm more focused on exerting as much into my workouts during round and rest during breaks than I am trying to keep track of what round I am in. It would be nice if the audio would announce the current round at the beginning of each one. The muse workout app does this. For example, at the beginning of round 5 a voice should say "Round 5.". Please?!?.Version: 5.3
✓ Terrific- just what I neededI needed something with the flexibility to provide gentle timings for a series of postures held for two minutes each, with a short interval between for moving to the next. This app works perfectly for me, with its big numbers, unobtrusive colours, and gentle sounds. I love it enough to write this review - my first..Version: 0
✓ FinallyI have been waiting for everlast round timer but then I couldn't listen to my iPod. Then I found this. Works great I can play music when hitting heavybag and get my cues for the end of the round. Awesome..Version: 0
✓ Great appThis app is the perfect boxing timer, there is nothing I can think of that requires improvement. Big numbers that get even bigger when u turn your iPod/phone on it's side, different colors of background depending on different stages of countdown and great choice of boxing appropriate sound. Just a great app, I highly recommend..Version: 0
✓ Perfect app and device!!I have been searching for a round timer for boxing and bjj workouts. This is it! You can set the length and it will notify you when the round is almost up (you control that too). The price is the best feature.....Version: 0
✓ Very usefulI'm so happy I found this app. I use it for sparring and drills. I thought about buying one of those digital timers but they cost a lot..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Wouldn’t be without itI used it almost everyday and have lots of exercise routines I couldn’t do without it now. Love it..Version: 5.3
✓ Almost perfectIf the "sticks" sound were louder this app would be perfect. Large display Very custom for time/rounds Works with music in the background What a great app!!.Version: 0
✓ Works with iPodNeeded an interval timer to work with my iPod music and this works great. I hook my iPhone to external speaker, start the music & start the timer & get to working out. Well worth 99 cents.Version: 0
✓ Just what I was looking for.This was just the app I was waiting for. Purchased Interval Timer also. Much the same, but having both allows for setting two different time sessions. Simple and does exactly what it needs to..Version: 0
✓ TimerGood stuff really handy for training.Version: 0
✓ Forget the rest, this is the best!I bought this app a while back, and it just keeps getting better. Not only is it an excellent app but the developer was quick to answer my email. This app is easily worth 10 times it's price!.Version: 0
✓ Great improvementsI really like this app. Have not used it in a very long while, because i lost my phone and forgot i had this as an app. Recently downloaded it to my iphone again and i love the improvements.The fact that you can play music at the same time and have the various noises to signify rest time etc and set the music to change the track in each round is great, it keeps you motivated..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Awesome......app. Does exactly what it says. I use. It for CrossFit and sparring and I couldn't be happier. I especially like that your iPod can be playing and the timer won't interrupt the music..Version: 0
✓ Used to be really good but now has a bugI love this app for meditation, yoga sets that require long-healed poses with equal time per side, etc. However, after a recent update, the app has started to malfunction: after a few rounds, it keeps on keeping time, with rest periods and work periods, but the alarms stop sounding in between them. I have to force quit the app and restart it. I am sure they're working on fixing this -- at least I hope so. Update: they have fixed this bug. Love this app again..Version: 5.2
✓ Please integrate with Apple WatchLove your app, used forever, and need on my watch!! 5 stars once can :).Version: 7.0
✓ Round 1Superb app, let's me train on the bag at home just like I do at the gym Only thing I'm asking is ........ Can this work while listening to it music ? So I can have this on as well as my iPod Thanks.Version: 0
✓ Excellent AppUse this everytime I go to the gym, do know what I'll do without it. Only one slight problem the graphics/interface is boring. Needs a bit more life.Version: 0
