Interval Timer for Positive User Reviews
✓ Simple and elegantDoes what it says it does. On an iPod touch 1g you need to be wearing the earphones to hear the alerts. For those complaining about the timer stopping when the screen locks: as long as music is playing through the media player, the iPod stays "awake" (even though the screen goes off) and the timer will continue to run, and the alerts will sound. So just male sure music is playing, and then start the timer program. Don't press the home button. If the media player stops, such as at the end of a playlist, the iPod will go to sleep and so will the timer..Version: 0
✓ Simple and effective.This app isn't the prettiest but it is perfect for exercising by intervals. A good buy..Version: 0
✓ Great appChances are if this is crashing, iphone needs to restart or reinstall app. This is great. I turn on my iPod music and I can hear the tone over my music. Also the rest and work show different colors which is nice if you just quickly glance at the timer. Well made. I would like to see more sounds and higher pitch tones. Perhaps something like the "alarm" sound? Thanks for a great app!.Version: 0
✓ I'm in heavenBefore I donwloaded this app I had to turn my music down so low I could barely hear it because I needed to listen for the timer on my watch. I'm training for a marathon right now & practice interval training on my long runs. This app allows me to turn up the music as loud as I want and not worry about missing my next interval because the alarm sounds right over my music (note: make sure you have the ringer volume turned all the way up BEFORE you start the app). It's a bit sensitive which is why I knocked one star off, & it doesn't count your total training time which would be nice. Other than that, it's perfect, I love it!!!.Version: 0
✓ Just what I was looking forPurchased Round timer also, to make it easy to have 2 different session lengths. Good value and simple. Does exactly what I needed it to..Version: 0
✓ Nice improvements, but could use more.Lots of new options, and the current 2.0 version briefly pauses your music when it plays the tones so you'll always hear them. remember to set the sounds first on the 2.0 release or you will crash. i hope a future version will be able to continually run when you lock the screen..Version: 0
✓ Almost 5 starsGreat app. Easy to use. An integrated tap counter would be nice. It would be nice to keep track of reps too. Maybe design it to count negative and positive counts and multiple reps scalable from 1 to ? The ability to save programs would be a huge plus. Thanks for the app. Use it all the time..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Good TimerStopped working after the upgrade, but works fine after I reinstalled the ap..Version: 0
✓ InvaluableExcellent gym companion. Use pretty much all the time with my cardio.Version: 5.3
✓ After all the research...Yes indeed! I finally found the interval timer app that is the best, and it works under fire! Wether your Ipod is off or you're on another app, the timer still runs in the background like real time. It took me awhile to figure out low and high intervals, but I so get it now. Your high interval could be your actual work out while your low interval could be your resting time. I like to think of the low interval as moving on to the next weight work out apparatus. And I figured out that rest means end of the number of sets. Or you can make rest your interval if you set the high or low interval to zero! I'm rambling on because this is truly a great app that I tested. I should be ok at the gym tomorrow and onward..Version: 5.3
✓ GreatDoes exactly what it says. Simple and great.Version: 0
✓ ChangesI definitely like what this app could be. My issue is when doing superset tabata. For example 20 seconds for a then 20 seconds for b then 35 seconds rest. I wish there was a way to configure two high intensities then rest instead of low then high. And it gets confusing counting down from the round time. I would love it if my countdowns were 20 secs, 20 secs, 35 secs then set 2. It would be easier. Thanks.Version: 0
✓ Works great so farThis is the first interval timer for the iphone that's decent. Hopefully, they'll continue to add cool features. I'm using it for crossfit workouts and it works nicely..Version: 0
✓ Program SaverWould love to see an update that would allow you to save workouts so you don't have to reprogram it every time you want to do something different. Otherwise, great app!.Version: 0
✓ INTERVAL TIMERAwesome, this interval timer works perfect and has no problems at all, works A+++++++, wont freeze or stop half way thru your workout you can trust it.....some of the others i have tried were more expensive and hopeless but this one is well worth the $1.19..... This interval trainer is by far my favorite fitness app!!!! 5 starts all the way!!! GOOD JOB : ).Version: 4.0.1
✓ Works great!However I few things I would like see changed.. - the colors indicating rest, low intensity, and high intensity should be changed to red, yellow, and green. like a traffic light. Reason being, when I'm exhousted, It would be second nature to know what the colors stand for. Fast, slow, and stop. When running. The primary colors used don't subconciously stand for anything really.. And will throw me off when I'm drained and pushing hard, I don't like to clutter my thoughts with what blue stands for etc. - A second timer indicating the time until the next interval. This is a must. Set time, and interval time should both be displayed. After all.. It is an 'interval timmer' yet it does not display this.. This program would be perfect if it had these two changes. Untill then 4 stars...Version: 0
✓ Almost awesomeI think some more distinctive sounds would be nice. Maybe an option to mute the music when the interval sound plays. Good simple program for the money..Version: 0
✓ Great app but fix 4.0 issues!!Fix the new issues. Once updated to OS 4.0 issues have come about. Interval sounds are not working properly..Version: 0
✓ PerfectEast to use, nice features, no crashes, and the tones are easily heard over even the loudest heavy metal background music!.Version: 0
✓ Good stuffI use this all of the time and especially in combination with a music app. It does everything that I need it to without any fuss. Good, reliable no nonsense timer. Xx.Version: 7.2
✓ Great for stretchingGood app with a simple configuration screen. Used for stretching, it works great. I put it in my pocket and can use the vibration feature alone to know when to switch positions..Version: 0
✓ Exactly what I needed.First interval timer app I tried and its perfect. I can listen to music, can set multiple intervals, total length of my set, initial countdown timer, and customize each intervals sound. Great app!!!.Version: 0
✓ Well worth the .99This app is very logical and easy to use. I love the custom recording feature which allows me to record the words "run" and "walk" so I don't have to think about it!! I searched for timex interval watches and could find none for under $30. This is a great purchase for anyone looking to do interval training..Version: 0
✓ Big improvements in the new versionIt has come a long way from the previous version. But * still lacks the much needed ability to keep the iPhone screen from locking out. * can not save training profiles for different types of workout.Version: 0
✓ Good for CrossfitI have been looking for a good timer for quite sometime to do workouts too, and this one is great. Easy interface, bold timer count down, and nice alerts to when you need to switch or stop. Never had any issues with no sound. Maybe people had their phones on vibrate and thought that the sound would still come thru like their music does. If you have the switch turned to sound on your iPhone on the side, it comes thru even over the music playing..Version: 0
✓ PerfectLike the name says, Plain and Simple. All the functionality I was looking for in a basic interval timer..Version: 0
✓ Customer feedbackBought this timer a month ago, has been really good app- very simple to use just as an work/rest timer but with lots of options to make the intervals more complex. Good clear display. Can play music while using the timer aswell, started using it as a boxing timer but now use it for a load of other stuff aswell.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Interval Timer by Scott FritzingerThis app is simple and works well as an interval workout timer. For me it is a little short on instructions and at first I thought I had wasted my money but I persevered and now I use it every day..Version: 0
✓ New version for iOS4 is even betterMy iPhone automatically locks itself due to a security policy of my Exchange email server so I require an app that works in the background when the phone is locked. This update does just that and works exactly as expected. Thanks very much for the update..Version: 0
✓ Good, still room for improvementThis is the best interval training app out for the iPhone I have found. The only thing I wish it would do is be able to set a total number of intervals or "workout time" as well as set time. When I am doing HIIT, I like to see which round of HIIT I am on as well as how far along in the total HIIT workout..Version: 0
✓ Nice TimerWish it was Apple Watch compatible.Version: 7.2
✓ Single timer onlyThis is a very good single interval timer. It has the same sounds as this company's other interval apps.. Interface is very simple for its purpose. You can also record your own sounds. I wish its description would say "Single Interval Timer"..Version: 0
✓ Love it...I purchased this and the Tabata Timer and this app is sooooo much better!! I like that you can choose your own sounds and the fact that the app will run with music playing. Setting up the intervals was quick and easy!! Thanks!!.Version: 0
✓ Street jitsu associationWhat a fantastic App this is ! Easy and simple to use ideal for our kickboxing club for timing rounds. And because it's on my iPhone it's portable and I can use it anywhere. Most definately recommended..Version: 5.3
✓ Nearly thereMy most painful app, given the tough circuit sessions it gives me! Only gripe is to make the pause button less sensitive as i keep knocking it mid session..Version: 0
✓ Handy Little App.This is one handy little application, i use it for timing tabata protocol intervals and it works a treat, can't wait for the update. I had a few concerns when i first purchased the app but customer support was fantastic and helped me sort out the issue promptly and curteously. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Silly usersI've had this app since it was created and I've never had an issue with it. Always opens and runs flawlessly. I wish it could set up different timers between "sets" but that's just being anal. Get the app and enjoy..Version: 5.3
✓ PerfectI downloaded this newest version and didn't have any of the problems described in the negative reviews. This really is a perfect interval timer. Does what it says and the rest feature means you can use it for interval training or circuit training. Really great and just what I was looking for. Worth the price..Version: 0
✓ Not able to turn off low intensityI am not able to have a high intensity, rest workout. Low intensity automatically rolls to 5 seconds. Needs to be able to turn off low intensity..Version: 0
✓ An interval training must!In the last few years I have really focused on interval training. There were two main problems, finding a timer that could handle different interval types without resetting, and hearing the buzzer over your music. This app handles both of these things beautifully. All you need to do is start your favorite playlist going on your iphone, and then start the interval timer. You have the option of the program stopping the song when the buzzer goes off, so you are assured of hearing it. It then starts the song again in the same place. You can set low and high intensity intervals within a larger interval as well. This is a must for anyone who wants to design and use interval training into their routines. GREAT APP GREAT PRICE!.Version: 0
✓ Great tool for the price!I have used this tool several times for running and lifting weights, it is well worth the price. I have been wanting something like this since the iPhone came out in June 07. Works great while listening to the ipod also. Just some improvement ideas, it would be great to get an audio countdown warning at the end of the interval, like 5,4,3,2,1. I am guessing that might be hard to do and keep the ipod playing in the background. The option of total time or total number of intervals would be great (just to avoid having to do math on the trail) Now just add a GPS, Pedometer and the ability to download and sync your results and you will put Polar out of business :-).Version: 0
✓ Great App!This app helped me start running again. I love it! It does just what it is supposed to do and is easy to use. Plus you can still listen to your music while it is counting down..Version: 0
✓ Brilliantly simpleExcellent and easy to use - does exactly what I needed!.Version: 0
✓ Does what it says on the canIt is great, no doubt about that BUT the sound effects dont work? Anyone else have that problem?.Version: 0
✓ (v4) Good apDoes what it says. A big thanks to the developers for quickly fixing the bug that paused the timer when locking phone..Version: 0
✓ Needs volume controlThis little item does what it's supposed to and very well! However, it would be nice if it had a volume control for the High/Low/Rest interval. For me it's a bit quiet to hear over my music on my iPhone 2G. Other than that, great app!.Version: 0
✓ Great appsI have the round timer you guys made and while it worked great for some things it didn't allow asynchronos splits, this app solves that problem. Having both apps has really helped my workouts thank you guys alot! Also, the iphone OS is the cause of apps randomly crashing, not the apps themselves, bad reviews for an app because of the OS isn't really fair..Version: 0
✓ Running intervals & tabata awesomeI was in need of a functional app to set separate intervals to train for running intervals and this is perfect. I love that you can save workouts with a name so I can have stairs, running & tabata all saved and ready. The best app - I tried two others that just did not have the flexibility as this one. I love that I can say do 10 reps of the set doing which has been planned out by my trainer..Version: 5.3
✓ Useful appI found this app to be exactly what I was looking for in an interval timer. More than worth the money! When used correctly, it's a great app. There is one thing I would like to see in an update, it's the ability to program multiple workouts..Version: 0
✓ InvaluableThis app has been invaluable to me in my running training. I used to only walk but am now training for a half marathon and without this app it would be much more difficult. I give it 5 stars because it does what is says it does. However there are a couple features I'd like to request if the developer decides to do an update. 1. Please add a Screen Lock button. I had another app that did this. I know I have to keep the app open but since I know it's possible to lock the screen within the app this would be useful. 2. On the counter screen, after you start, it would be nice to have an additional timer to show the amount of time left in the High, Low or Rest period. I find myself having to do lots of math to see how much time is left, when I want to know. 3. The counter shows High, Low or Rest Intensity when the timer for that period begins but that then disappears. It would be helpful to have that displayed the for the entire time period. 4. With all the Screen space left available it would also be nice to show the total time that was started at and even maybe the Interval times. What would be nicer would be an option to increase or decrease these on the countdown screen, so you don't have to stop and start over again. 5. The sounds could be just a little louder. While it's rare, depending on what track I'm playing sometimes I miss them. 6. While the app seems geared toward a different kind of workout it's very useful for runners who go between running and walking. However as your distance increases the Total time is not enough. I'm at the point that I need more than 59 minutes. Making it possible to have a higher Total time would be appreciated. Still this is a great app that I couldn't do without. Definitely worth the 99 cents..Version: 0
