Interval Timer for Negative User Reviews
✓ (use to) Work GreatUPDATE: It worked great....for a while. Now the "Tone" notification only works sometimes. When it does work, it usually stops if you pause or restart the app. I'm nocking my rating of this app down. ------------------------------------- This is exactly what I was looking for and it's hard to argue about the price. It would be nice to to see some improvements in the sound themes. Most are unusable when playing over music, but "Tone" does come through. If it was possible to dip/mute the music at the interval this app would be close to perfect..Version: 0
✓ No bad, but needs improvements.Not bad but needs improvements. Would be good if you could assign different music for the 'efforts' and 'rest' periods. Also would be good if the time could be adjusted in one second increments - not 5 seconds..Version: 0
✓ Cannot get this app to workUntil there is some instructions on how to use this I'm giving it 1 star. I've wasted loads of training sessions trying to get this to work. I put the set time to 3min but this seams to set the high interval time to 3m whatever I have actually set it to. I never get a low interval. Only high and rest. This app is far too complicated fir something that should be really simple. Surely all that is required is low time, high time, and total time..Version: 0
✓ Great interval timer, but missing key featureI've been using this app for sometime. It is an excellent interval timer, easy to configure. However, it only allows you to have one interval timer configured at once. It has become tiresome having to change the timer settings each time I want to run a different interval workout. If I could create and save multiple timers, this would be a 5-star app and probably the best interval timer available, considering the combination of features and ease of use..Version: 0
✓ I loved this app until I upgraded to 4.0!I had been training to do a walk/run marathon with this app and it was absolutely one of the best training tools I had! And of course as the saying goes, "Don't try anything new the day of the marathon." Well, I had upgraded to the iPhone 4 and I didn't think anything of it. But when I started my race, the sounds wouldn't work and would only vibrate (which of course I couldn't feel because it was in my running pouch) because I put the phone to sleep so that the screen would be locked. And I couldn't keep the screen on, because everytime I moved it would pause. I finally gave up on the application after playing with it for 6 miles in my race. I was really diasppointed because I couldn't even use it the way I had trained! So please upgrade this because I really liked this app!.Version: 0
✓ Needs a way to turn off low intervalThere is no way to turn off the low interval or set it to 0. It goes back up to :05. If you only want to do high and low (as in Tabata), you are screwed. Sounds need to be louder and more audible over gym noise. Otherwise seems ok.Version: 0
✓ Pretty GoodGood app with a lot of potential, but it could use a couple of more options such as a warm up setting. Without a warm up, it goes directly into it's intervals. I would also love to see more intervals other than just high and low, my HIIT workouts involve progressively more intense increments. Nice app but currently it's limited for me..Version: 0
✓ Great app, but...UPDATE: since the last update the iPod volumes fluctuate. It was really good when I first bought and they just keep improving it. Keep it up! Also, people complaining about the icon are ridiculous. Have you ever seen a real interval timer?.Version: 0
✓ It worksGood at timing but could definitely use improvement. The app needs to be updated for iOS 4, the icon is a joke, need to be able to program and save more than one timer, app just majorly needs cosmetic improvement..Version: 0
✓ Requirements are WRONG!!!!I bought this for my touch and it is not compatible! Even though the site says it's compatible with touch, it needs the iphone....there have been a couple of apps that i have downlaoded and have not worked. Apple need to go through their apps and state if things are actually compatible with touch and which need a higher iphone. I don't like wasting money and probably will not try very many apps until that happens..Version: 0
✓ DisappointedI was very disappointed after purchase. You can't set the High or Low intensity or Set timers to zero, they force a 5 sec. interval. I only want to use the Rest Time portion of the app but have to suffer through the rest of it. Not very useful for me. I am using an iPod Touch with up-to-date system software..Version: 0
✓ Great, except for the pausing...Great app, but I wish it would continue to run in the background while you change songs. If you try to access your music to change songs, it pauses the timer until you go back into the app and click to resume..Version: 0
✓ Am I missing something?I originally left the review below. This application worked one time for me. Now it crashes every time. I really want to like this app, but it needs work. Original review: I loved using this on the treadmill this morning. There's 2 thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars. 1. There's isn't a pause button. 2. There's only a stop button. When you press it, the app doesn't just stop, it exits and takes me back to iPhone's home screen. This was kind of annoying. I liked the tones. Great little app for those doing interval training..Version: 0
✓ Quit working after 7/6/09 upgradeWorked fine on the morning of 7/6/09, got an upgrade. On the morning of 7/7/09, it looks all different and the app closes every time I hit the start button, so it's now useless. I loved it before. Help! It used to be great for Tabatas. Set the rest time to zero and use the low interval for the 10 second rest. If it ever works again. If it doesn't come back soon, I guess I'll have to find another timer. It's a shame. I really liked the way it worked before..Version: 0
✓ Not worth itThis device has no flexibility - it wouldn't let me choose 0 and it only allows for 1 interval. Spend the extra $1 and get the next version up..Version: 0
✓ Sound IssuesI love this app but since updating my phone to 4.0, I can't hear the samples of the sounds like I used to when selecting a sound, and when the phone goes to "sleep" the sounds don't work, just the vibrate. The phone has to stay "awake" for the sounds to work during a workout. Please fix these issues on this otherwise great app. Thank you!.Version: 0
✓ Worked fine until last update for iPhoneIt worked fine with intervals and running concurrently with music. However, when I took the latest update for my iPhone, it no longer works. What is the process for getting an update or getting it working?.Version: 0
✓ Not useful if you listen to musicI wanted to like this app. Its got a very clean easy to use interface and it does what it says. However, if you are running or working out to music, you will not hear it. It cannot lower the volume of the music during the change announcement. I wrote to the creator to discuss the issue, but never got a reply..Version: 0
✓ Has problemsThe sound of the app is way too loud. If I'm using my headphones, it can really hurt and you can't adjust that volume. When previewing sounds it screws with entire phones sound level. Loading lists is buggy and it doesn't delete them. It can function but needs to more QA..Version: 5.1
✓ Too plain and simple!Dissapointing purchase... doesn't allow you to easily set up your own interval sessions and features are limited..Version: 0
✓ When you can select the sound you want it will be 5 stars :)I don't really get the low intensity, high intensity intervals, but somebody must find these variations useful. it won't bother me too much having a slightly different tone each interval (low/high). very basic app (which is a good thing). hopefully will allow for sound of choice (there are 4 preselects to choose from and tone and ring will work fine for those of us doing conditioning drills) in an upgraded version..Version: 0
✓ Was good till updateWas good until last update now keeps crashing. Sounds dissapear halfway through workout. Timers reset to for no reason to standard settings!! What happened?.Version: 5.1
✓ Will NOT function correctly when locked: ConfirmedI had suspected for some days that the app will NOT -- contrary to the claims of the developer -- run correctly when the iPhone is locked. My timer is set for 4:30 low, 30 secconds high, with no rest time. Often when the iPhone is locked, the clock stops and the app will not sound UNTIL I touch the Home button, when it will sound. Upon unlocking the iPhone, the timer resumes at the point immediately after the conclusion of the previous interval. In other words, the clock stopped and the sound was "cached" until I began unlocking the iPhone. It seems that in Interval Timer we are in the hands of a pretty talented developer (the app really is excellent) who does his own software testing -- the worst possible scenario: software developers and testers should be a) different people; b) preferably at daggers drawn. On the one hand, who am I to complain for a measly buck? On the other hand, this is not far from being a 5-star app. Let's hope this unlock matter is solved soon. Otherwise I shall have to purchase a $20 iPhone holder for my bike's handlebars, because otherwise with the iPhone in my pocket I will inevitably and inadvertently touch the Pause button on this $1 app .....Version: 0
✓ NopeDoes not work at all, uninstalled, reinstalled, does not work..Version: 0
✓ Timer reviewThis would be a perfect interval timer if only you could leave It and return to continue where you left off, each time you leave you have to start over at the beginning. It is very nice to be able to play your iPod while the timer is running but you can't leave the app to change your song because you will have to start the timer from the beginning..Version: 0
✓ Good appCould use an in app iPod controls, also has a few bugs -- if you set high tempo to be first and restart the app it show low tempo as first even though it is still high tempo first. This is much better than any other work out timer I have tried but it still needs some improvement..Version: 0
✓ Useless updateI've had this interval timer for a long time & it's been brilliant(5 stars)...until this week. It was updated overnight and not for the better. Each time I open a preset interval sequence, it 'logs out' and returns to my home page,at least for the first 3 attempts....really unhelpful..Version: 7.0
