Interval Timer

I’ve had this app for the past four months and use it to make customized timers for my core workouts and physical therapy. So far, it definitely keeps me motivated and on track! It’s nice to see exactly how long something will take me before I start, and once I hit start it’s I’ve already won because everything is laid out for me in advance—there’s no backing out! Also keeps track of my activities over the last week/month/6mo/1yr, meaning I can take it to my physical therapist and easily show them my performance without having to estimate or beat around the bush about doing (or not doing) my exercises every day. The sound/chime customization options are nice, and the appearance is fairly sleek and straight forward.

I’ve been trying just about every interval timer in the app store and this one takes the medal. I’ve been using Seconds Pro until lately but it seems that the developers don’t work on that app very much anymore so updates are far and few in between and functionality is not all there. This app is regularly being updated so that’s already better and its got almost all of the features Seconds Pro does. If this Intervals app added a feature where the interval duration was read out loud, for example “cycle for 3 minutes” this app would be without a doubt THE BEST interval timer in the app store! If you then added a widget that you could access your timers from, it would be icing on the cake, but even just announcing the duration would make it a literally perfect app, in my opinion at least. All in all, thanks for the awesome app you guys provided!

Fairly easy to figure out, easy to copy sets within intervals. Using this as my run/walk interval timer when my workout calls for differing intervals at specific times. Putting those workouts on my Garmin messes with my ability to analyze my pace for each overall segment. So when trying to hit specific paces within those intervals, having them be on time is of utter importance. I’ve noticed that the workouts I’ve built within this app eventually lag behind beginning the intervals, so each run and walk segment gets just a little longer. I’ve verified this by watching my watch when the countdown to switch starts and the next countdown, it’s not 30secs. Example, at the end of my made 31min workout in the app (1min warmup, 10min of 30/30 intervals, 5min of different intervals, 5min of yet different intervals, and finishing off with 10min of the first intervals), the total workout when finished says final time of 30:49. I wonder if the programming isn’t taking the voice prompts into consideration making this not the best for run/walk intervals of when trying to be very regimented about exact timing. Guess I’ll have to resort to wearing an interval timer.
