Seconds Interval Timer

Mostly i just love that this app lets me basically do whatever i want with it. I can easily create my own routine. But the five star rating is because I really love that they allow you to purchase the app for a one-time fee (which is actually very affordable). I basically rule out any app that is a subscription because if i like the app then i can’t imagine paying a subscription for it indefinitely. I like to have a simple app that i can own forever. I really hope they don’t take away the ability to purchase the app for a one time fee. Like i said, i genuinely stay away from subscriptions. I have shared this app with multiple people who have also purchased it because they loved that it was a one-time fee. Im also more willing to take a chance and pay a one-time fee on an app that i possibly wont use, than to sign up for a subscription based app. If i was being super critical i might deduct a star because i don’t know why it doesn’t show my heart rate in the timer when i use it on my apple watch. The heart rate portion just shows “N/A”. Maybe my apple watch is old or something? I can’t figure it out. But i didn’t actually deduct a star because if i cared enough then i could try and contact the company for help, but i haven’t felt like it so that’s sorta on me. All things considered, it’s a great app and i always suggest it to people who are looking for something like it!!

Overal I am very happy with this app. It is a nice, simple interval timer, I have used it to make workouts for running, strength training, and others. It is a one time fee, as opposed to a monthly fee like the others, seriously being able to actually own an app for once is nice! Customizing each move is nice, and you have helpful options such as splitting the move for each side (such as lunging on the right then on the left) and having a break in between each side. I also love the different options for signaling the next move, although to me they are all kind of annoying except for the single beep. But you can have it tell you what move it is with an ai voice if you want. It is a little hard to figure out at first. You can’t add a move in in between two others, you can only copy and paste. So I just have to copy something and paste it in and edit it to what I want it to say. Also if you just hit paste , it goes to the bottom. If you want it after a certain move, you have to long press it then paste. It copies whatever is selected, so if you forget to unselect something, it pastes it too. The thing I really would like to have changed though, is the ability to change multiple things at once. I would love it if I could select several moves and change the color for all of them, or the time for all, instead of one at a time. Other than that, I think this app is fine, just takes some practice.

As someone else’s review mentions, this is timer app very versatile. You can have a simple timer or extremely complex. I love this aspect. Sometimes I want a little less structured workout so I’ll just use one I created that has 45 seconds intervals with a simple beep. Others occasions I want structure so I created timers that announce each movement (20 sumo squats, 20 dead bugs , etc) with the text-to-speech option. You can split the interval and add a pause between the split. The default is left and right but even this is customizable. You can change the alerts for intervals to be a single beep, long beep, multiple beeps, various gongs, text-to-speech with or without a countdown, with a warning of what the upcoming interval, vibrations or no sounds. You can select from 10 colors to assign to intervals and timers. I can listen to an audiobook or Pandora while using this app and at whatever time I’ve selected it will lower the volume and play whatever alert style I’ve selected. You can duplicate timers which I do when I want to use the structure of one and just make some modifications but keep the other one. You can cut, copy, & paste exercises/intervals. You can organize timers into folders and organize/ re-order them. I use this app for strength training, cardio, stretching, and even studying (using the pomodoro technique). The app provides a few sample timers and one that does a great job of illustrating what you can do. I tried a few timers before I found this one. I used the free version to give it a try and I am so happy I did. Now this is the only timer I use and the only one I would recommend.
