UltraTimer for Negative User Reviews

✓ Useless!No end timer sound on ANY timer - don't waste your time with this app!.BluekitVersion: 7.1

✓ No Sound on iPod TouchI really had hoped that this application would answer my various timing needs, but while it is promising the biggest drawback is that on the iPod touch the timer sounds don't sound and there is no vibrate. The built-in timer on the iPod touch manages to produce rudimentary sounds, so I would be grateful if the author of this application could at least have those available for iPod touch users. Another thing that seems to be missing is how you tell the timer how many times you wish to run through your predefined timer (eg. once, a specified number of times, or until you manually tell it to stop). My final request is to be able to specify sounds for when an interval has ended. If you have a predefined timer for, say, making a cup of tea, you only want to know when it's finished, not have a sound for when you start the timer..CmdrVariusVersion: 0

✓ Thanks for the update!Reduced from 5 to 3 stars. Needs to be updated layout not functioning on my iPhone 6+ I’ve used this timer for a fairly long time now. I really appreciate its flexibility and the variety of times included. It wasn’t formatting well and hadn’t been updated for a while. I am grateful that it is back in play. Thanks! I works great again..Tvh13Version: 7.5

✓ Volume problemsVersion 5.3 has an issue where when you select "Fade music" for the interval beeps, after a few songs it will fade the music down for the rest of the program and you can barely hear anything. I reported this long ago, as have others in the reviews. Why no fix? I have to try to remember to manually select "no change", but then the beeps are over the volume and it sounds bad. Further, it will not default to this and you have to reselect this choice every time..Aimee321Version: 5.3

✓ Music FreezeBest timer App concept , easy to set up, BUT music freezes during intervals . Not cool when your in the middle of teaching a fitness class and your well planned music freezes..EflowVersion: 0

✓ UnusableSince the latest update. Simply doesn't work. You can't create intervals properly. You may select 1 min and it decides you selected 35 mins. Every time you select any interval it changes the time you selected rendering the whole app pointless. Don't waste your time downloading it. Very disappointed as it was great..Girevik1978Version: 7.3

✓ Voice Prompts? Can't open on IPod touchPurchased and no instructions on how to do voice prompts. No warnings for start or end of intervals. Downloaded to iPod touch and when opened it shuts down. iPod has latest IOS 6.1. Will give more stars if issues fixed..JjmatengagurlVersion: 7.2

✓ Data lostI have been using this for a while so I had many timers inputted. All of a sudden all of my data was deleted. All of the time it took me to input my timers is now lost. Good idea for a program but very unstable. This would crash on me often. Also, the screen needed to stay on, if it turned off then the timer would hang up and the sound would not play, the time would not continue either. As soon as I turned the screen back on it would play the sound and the time would resume..AfryclVersion: 0

✓ Needs updateThis app doesn’t display properly on my iPhone 13 mini..ToddmandolinVersion: 7.5

✓ UnstableThe app is unstable, and it crashes consistently and unpredictably. I've had a workout in which it crashed 3 times, even while sprinting! So frustrating!.WilhelmtellVersion: 5.3

✓ Sound does not work - neither does customer serviceUltratimer sounds stop announcements mid session rendering use of this product frustrating and maddening. You are left in the middle of a workout session NOT knowing what to do next without constantly watching the timer display. I find this product then useless. It seemed to BREAK in 5.2 release. What is even more maddening is CUstomer Service has not acknowledged the previous 'sound stopping' complaints and issued either a) an option to download previous release OR b) state intended direction to fix. Instead ONE is left wondering if this product is of any use. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION..... beware of ANY 'Plain and Simple' software products based on customer service response. It really isn't that hard to perform good customer service..MeanomanVersion: 5.2

✓ Would not buy it if there had been a 30 day demo.Use this app on Sunday for intervals while running a 1/2 marathon. After about 20 minutes, it sounded like the timer had started a second time, I kept hearing a second tone about 10 seconds after the first. After about an hour, it stopped completely. When it does run properly, the display does not shut off, nor can it be shut off via any settings, draining the battery. Overall, the more I use it, the more I think I wasted $2..DEBS_PLACEVersion: 5.3

✓ Current version DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL BUGS mentioned in reviewsStill crashes...was working fine until I tried to expand my 80ish interval lonf workout into interval sets above 90 or 100 intervals in length and now I can no longer use the app...I try to type the exercise name and the screen goes screwy...also goes screwy for setting sound to start interval...was fine before...now is unusable...please fix...I cant even restart a new timer from scratch now...seems permanently screwed up with the 2 above mentioned issues. 3 stars for how good it was... Minus the 2 stars for not being able to work longer than a day..DrizzydidVersion: 5.5.2

✓ Pretty Good, but needs a little workUr last update bumped my review up 2 stars, but one thing that bugs me is when the timer is running, the graphics are really bad. Not a big deal, but it'd b nice to see improvement, also we need more sounds (sounds that are good during excercising). Finally, it'd be really cool to have it so that a timer doesn't run, it just beeps for half a second and then the next timer starts running. So when running in place a hear a beep, I jump up and get back up and then the run counter starts again.Prodigy's !st fanVersion: 0

✓ BuggyPlease, folks, fix this app. The current update is very buggy and should not be out there. I use a 4s running IOS 8 and had no troubles with the app until this update. Also, if you can add an easy to access screen lock, I would love that feature. For now, the app is really unreliable. Examples: there is no way to exit the help section; the app started a timer when opened; sometimes buttons work, sometimes they don't..PoppamandoVersion: 7.0

✓ CRASHING!!Since updating it crashes on opening. Only have iOS 6.1.6. Not impressed as I use it regularly..Annette SullivanVersion: 7.0

✓ How can you disable full screen pause?Can we have an option to disable full screen pause? Its annoying that we cant disable this because the screen can easily be touched during the routine. Please plan on putting this in the next release. Thanks..Tony ModjdehiVersion: 0

✓ CrashesThis version crashes frequently. The ability to import and export timers seems to have gone away. Trying to access the timer exchange results in an instant crash..Mikec2006Version: 7.3.1

✓ This update is horrible so far.I installed this app on my old iPod touch 4 running the latest IOS 6 to see if it worked with voiceover. It just crashes when I try to run it, I’m taken back to the screen I was on. I don’t want to update it on the device I use it on that is running IOS 8.1.2 because I’m not sure it will work there either and I don’t want to be without the program for an extended period of time. I’m getting a third device I’ll install it there and see about updating this review. Ill also update it if they come out with another update that works..BigBadBatVersion: 7.0

✓ Potentially good app, but really bad sound qualityI was quite happy with ChainTimer, yet bought this one because I wanted more sounds. --- More sounds it has (and the option to record your own is great), but the sound quality is horrific! Some are more like modulated noise. Very disappointed. Also a bit buggy (e.g. colour picker "previews" are all empty white boxes), but basic functionality is promising (copy/paste of timer segments)..MTFoxVersion: 0

✓ After recent update not functioningIf I had reviewed this before the recent update it would have been a 5* but since update and format change it is unusable and constantly cuts sounds out to signal end of rounds or beginning which wish I could revert back to the trouble free original version as this one I would not pay for now had to download other timers to get the result although still not as good as the original format sort it please.Boxer1974Version: 5.2

✓ Great for irregular interval trainingA very intuitive program that is really going to aid my workouts. The program needs a copy and paste feature for repeating a single interval without repeating the whole workout. It took me over 40 mins to program a full (1 hour) workout routine with breaks and irregular intervals. I program in all of my warm up, workout, and stretching exercises including the rest in between sets. The UltraTimer also crashed quite a few times while I was setting it up. With an update, this will be a great help for me in the gym and by far the best timer app! Great update!! Now I will give it 5 stars. Great job with the copy/paste!.UF DubbsVersion: 0

✓ Crashes on category selectI have been a long time ultratimer user and have found this to be the best interval timer for my needs. I haven't used the app in a quite a few months and recently got back into fitness only to find the app crashes on selection of any category on Ios 7/ iPhone 4. This is a show stopper. P&S Software please fix..RoskelVersion: 7.0

✓ Custom timers don't saveThis app is great and fits my needs perfectly only it doesn't save the timers I create, which I spent lots of time on putting together. When you leave the app and go into something else and come back to it it goes back to default with only the example timers available and my custom timers are gone. This would be a 4-5 star review if not for this problem..Cameo_DVersion: 0

✓ Really needs a way to select what part of an interval to repeat!Well this app has everything I suggested way back for the round timer. BUT i totally agree with the other reviewer it does need a copy paste type feature. As an example to do burpees I start with 40 seconds of burpees and 20 seconds rest but every 5 minutes 1 minute rest. So can set up one intervall clone it 4 times and change the end timer, then I can repeat this whole thing 3 times and that gets me my first 15 minutes. BUT the next 7 minutes I do 30 seconds on 30 seconds off, and the last 7 minutes I do 20 seconds on 40 seconds off. Since you can't repeat only Part of the loop I actually had to make 3 separate timers. First stage, second stage, third stage burpees. It would be nicer if you could check off intervals and then say to repeat the checked ones x times or x minutes and they would automatically add to the end of the list. If you could do this you could say make 40 seconds on 20 seconds off check them both and say repeat 14 times. then make a 30 seconds on 30 seconds on and check just those two off then say repeat 6 times then make just a 20 seconds on 40 seconds off check just those 2 and say repeat 6 times. and Violla 1 timer made with only 3 entries instead of needing three different timers or spending and hour manually entering each interval by hand after the first loop..LightbrazerVersion: 0

✓ Unable to set timeIt was a great product until the latest update. Cannot use at the moment.DrmarcoVersion: 7.3.1

✓ Does not function correctly when lockedIf the screen is locked the timer stops working. This means that you have to leave the screen on all the time doing this makes the battery run out fast. This in my opinion makes this thing useless. I recommend not buying this until the developers fix this feature. If not for this one feature this would be a great product..OzpiciousVersion: 0

✓ Sound issuesSince the ios 9 update, i have problems with the sound. When i use a single interval, the ending sound is not playing. I checked the sound level of my phone and it's ok. Please check this bug !!!.AddrorVersion: 7.1

UltraTimer works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact UltraTimer.
