Interval Timer HIIT Timer Reviews

It was definitely not clear that I’d only be able to use IntervalTimerHIITTimer a couple times before having to pay $10 for it. Also, IntervalTimerHIITTimer is too buggy and lacks features for that price. Once you start a workout you can’t change it. So if you’re extra tired one day, or have more... Show more energy, you can add or remove sets or time. The first time I used it, it didn’t lower my music volume, but then the next time, even though I hadn’t changed the setting, it lowered the music the whole time, I could barely hear it when I was running, and nothing I did fixed it. Too basic and buggy for that price.

I wanted an app where I could have another timer when I already had one going on. It had all these other timers... which I completely didn’t mind, and I thought to myself “ I can definitely use these whenever I need them” but for the exercise timer (which was one of them on there I found useful for... Show more other times) it was getting in the way of my sleeping timer. I kept trying to use the timer they provided I guess which was “rest”... but I couldn’t even use it. After like 5 minutes I couldn’t use any timers without a subscription. I suggest IntervalTimerHIITTimer multi timer and I absolutely love it... just got IntervalTimerHIITTimer, just now deleting. 🙂

I think that generally subscriptions should be reserved for products that have some real complexity or the potential for new content. I would argue that this product doesn’t have either of these qualities. Spending two dollars a month on a simple product like this makes no sense. Over a 50 year spa... Show more n, if you pay for the subscription to this timer, you would spend $1200. This is also clearly is designed to take advantage of people who get the subscription and then forget. It’s frustrating that the subscription would even be an option and the lifetime membership price is also way higher than it should be ($10). I think you should get rid of the subscription nonsense and offer this product at a reasonable price. It is a well designed app otherwise though.

If you don’t listen to music IntervalTimerHIITTimer is simple and works perfectly. However if you listen to music the voice prompts and beep feature is bugged, in order to have the voice prompts louder than your music it will limit your music volume; however if you pause your music, take a phone c... Show more all, or anything that interrupts IntervalTimerHIITTimer it will no longer limit the music volume and you’ll no longer be able to hear the prompts. There is no way to fix this unless you stop the workout and start a new one, it’s extremely annoying if you accidentally pause your music instead of skipping a track and then have to struggle hearing the prompts for the rest of the workout!

I had IntervalTimerHIITTimer for over a month and I loved it because it was easy to set up other than the fact that it didn’t announce when you reached the final set of your final exercise. I would have to watch the screen when I reached closer to the end which wasn’t a big deal if you have wirele... Show more ss headphones.

However, the most recent update IntervalTimerHIITTimer stops your music while it counts down the half way mark or the 3 seconds. NOT OK. We all need our music while working out!

I also noticed that the voice is off from the actual count down. I invested and purchased the full version for 9.99 and I am hoping that the current issues get resolved.

I began using this timer not too long ago - used somewhere between 5-10 times probably. Today I tried using the timer and I was faced with a notice saying “workout limit reached” and that I would need to pay 1.99 a month to use the timer. Are you kidding me?? IntervalTimerHIITTimer is pretty usefu... Show more l and has clean UI don’t get me wrong (only reason it didn’t get one star), but it is definitely not 1.99 a month useful. I definitely wouldn’t mind paying 1.99 one time and then getting unlimited access to it. I’d even be willing to pay up to around 3-5 dollars probably. But having a subscription service on something so small is such a let down. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere

I bought IntervalTimerHIITTimer about a month ago and I loved it. However, with the most recent update (I believe it updated yesterday), whenever the countdowns start, my music shuts off completely. Either I can listen to music and have no countdowns (and have to watch the timer on my screen..) OR... Show more I can’t listen to music at all so the countdowns can play. I personally hate working out with no music so it’s not the best scenario. I would have rated it 5 stars a week ago when I was able to listen to music AND have the voice countdown behind my music without stopping it.

After using the free trial I bought the lifetime pass, thinking it was worth it. Unfortunately I didn’t realIze there were some pretty disappointing gaps in the features. The biggest one being that it doesn’t indicate that the workout is over. It just times out with no verbal acknowledgement. Can’t... Show more it just say 3-2–1 workout done! The whole point is that I don’t have to watch the screen. The other very annoying thing is that you can’t save a configuration of the timer. I thought that was the whole point of being able to save a workout. I don’t know not sure it was worth the money.

IntervalTimerHIITTimer is simple and user friendly but it’s missing 2 features to really be 5 stars:

1) being able to save and name the timers. History is cool and why not but it’s not as useful as saving and naming timers, especially if you need several timers saved but you do not use them... Show more daily. Like Full Body workout would be easier to find in “saved timers” that looking at the details of all the history to find the correct workout and then repeat it. Way better to go to saved, look for the one with the correct name in an ordered list that allows shorting by most recently used, alphabetical, used most times, longest, etc and include a find function

2) Being able to name the different “work” and “rest” portions, not only useful for workouts that have similar exercises but also for job routines: instead of work, rest, work, rest; it could be crunches, rest, run, cool down or instead of work, rest, work, rest; it could be filing, coffe break, sending reports, stretching. It just takes that out of you mind and let’s you concentrate on the task rather than trying to remember what “work” you have done and which one you should be doing next.

I bought premium because I really enjoyed IntervalTimerHIITTimer , however, almost nothing is different. It would be nice to have a "saved workouts" page where you could pick a workout you made, rather than having to scroll through history. I also suggest a text to speech that announces what name y... Show more ou input for each exercise in a workout. That way you dont have to look at your phone to remember whether you're on pushups or situps or whatever. Otherwise, IntervalTimerHIITTimer is helpful and does what its supposed to.

Love IntervalTimerHIITTimer as far as the feature go. Let’s me set timer for exactly what I need - stretching, yoga, sprints, bag work, it doesn’t matter.

Would have given it 5 stars but unfortunately there is a bug in there where the voice sometimes doesn’t tell you when a round is over o... Show more r a new one starts. Not a big deal if you can keep an eye on it but if you’re putting your phone aside you can definitely miss it.

I would also love it if a feature was added to save certain settings as a pre-set and label them so I don’t have to manually adjust everything or scroll through my history to find the right one.

I’ve been using IntervalTimerHIITTimer almost daily for a few months now. I love its simplicity. One feature I hope you’ll add in the future is the ability to use IntervalTimerHIITTimer while your phone screen is locked. I use the voice commands and don’t even look at the screen while exercising.... Show more Not being able to lock my phone makes things difficult when I need to keep it in my pocket while working out. This would definitely be 5 stars if the voice commands worked when the screen is locked.

By far the best I found for timer apps while exercising.
It clearly shows the selected time remaining for work or rest, which number of exercise you are on out of the total you select, and conveniently gives a an indication when the work or rest interval is about to end (which is extremely usef... Show more ul for transitioning to the next station). It even tells you the half way point.

The one thing I would like to include is an option to write in and display my own exercise/movement names for each work interval, then I wouldn’t have to keep leaving IntervalTimerHIITTimer to check my notes or keep a whiteboard/scratch paper around if I forgot which exercise comes next. That would make IntervalTimerHIITTimer 5 Stars for me!! Otherwise amazing!

I love this timer. I downloaded it so I can do my workouts without having to worry about counting my reps. The timer works great, it is easy to use and set up. The only suggestion I would give is make it so when the option to have the voice louder than the music playing is on, the music quotes down... Show more only when the voice is talking. I found that when it is on it quiets the music even if it the voice or beeps aren’t talking. Amazing app good job devs.

It’s user friendly, it’s simple to use and it’s really a great app to have. It was only 2 or 3 bucks for the full version and I believe it was worth it. I can tell that IntervalTimerHIITTimer is being worked on and enhanced because I noticed some new features however, some of them are a bit glitch... Show more y. When I click the new favorites tab, IntervalTimerHIITTimer crashes. And I’ve had to click “already paid” upon launch about twice. But other than that.. 9/10 App. 12/10 once the bugs and sign in features are fixed.

I’d have loved to be able to use IntervalTimerHIITTimer free with ads after I reached the workout limit before you need to subscribe. They also don’t make it very clear that there is a limit to the times you can use IntervalTimerHIITTimer before you are require to subscribe to keep using it.

Don’t get me wrong the timer is great. It does everything you need a workout timer to do.

My only complaint is that to make the sounds louder to announce a time change, it lowers the volume of my music for the entire time a workout is taking place. Much better if it just raised the volume of the announcement sound rather than lower the volume of the music.
Other than these things it does the job. Back to default timer for workouts I guess.

Edit: they just had a feee lifetime subscriptikn for free promo? Not sure why but it’s free as of right now. So 5/5 now for being free.

I’ve done enough working out at studios to know which exercises I like and which ones work to tone specific areas of my body. But it’s hard to do rep counts when you’re exhausted during your workout. I just want to listen to music and have someone else do the counting. This timer is an amazing tool... Show more for that! I set an amount of time for each move and I set the break time in between to switch to the next thing and catch my breath. I decide if I’m using weights, resistance bands, kettlebell or nothing. I decide if m working on my arms, booty, legs, abs (I hate abs) or all of the above. Also, you can play music on the same device while you use this timer! This is seriously a game changer!

This timer is no nonsense. You want a timer that just keeps time and tells you when your half way so you can switch sides with out having to watch the time? Than get this timer! I have used many only to be disappointed by the screen switching off and missing the half way point on a count down, or ... Show more get bombarded with adds all over the screen. This does not do any of the above! Great basic timer

I was using another one till it got slammed with ads. I have been on the free version of IntervalTimerHIITTimer and it is great. I am upgrading for the few bucks even though I don’t need it. It does have some nice benefits. I tried several others but this has the most thought out UI so everythi... Show more ng is quick and easy.

Get this and it will be that last one you need.

Simple and clean design. Easy to make adjustments to timers. Cannot save workouts with names but you can always go to workout history and select the settings you want from there. The option for voice prompts or beeps is nice and there were no issues playing music in another app and switching apps (... Show more if you set it to continue the workout behind other apps)

There are major issues with IntervalTimerHIITTimer and I have contacted the creator several times with no response.

Every time I try to use IntervalTimerHIITTimer it acts as though I have not purchase and I need to “restore” my purchase. While this is not a big deal it is annoying. I have... Show more not been able to save my workouts even though I go through the process of setting them up and saving them they do not show up. I also can not see some of the screens because it is white writing on a white screen. Annoyed I wasted my money, regardless of the amount, on this. There are much better HIIT timer apps puns there.

NOT worth the money. I spent $9 for an app that doesn't do half of what many of the free apps do. I have looked at a LOT of these apps. The idea that I'd pay so much for a timer that doesn't allow you to save multiple timers is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody who is serious about fitness does the sam... Show more e exact routine every time. So you have to fiddle with the setup every time you work out. This is a zero-star app until they fix this glaring issue. While it works fine, it's not worth the price you are paying.

I am a trainer and depend heavily on a reliable timer to run my workouts. I paid for IntervalTimerHIITTimer and quickly found out that it has several bugs and issues. They recently made an update and I expected them fix those issues, but still has same issues and more. App always asks me to purcha... Show more se IntervalTimerHIITTimer to run, volume of timer is low when run with a music app, pause button doesn’t work, no settings menu, volume is silent if app is not on screen, so if you are viewing another app, the timer is silent. These are just some of the main issues.

Timer is not always correct. While the timer in the middle says a time, the timer that goes around either stops or goes around too quickly, which is inconvenient if you are watching the clock so you can switch quickly between exercises. The voice counting down does not work unless your phone is not... Show more on silent. It also gets drowned out if you’re using your phone to play music. You cannot leave IntervalTimerHIITTimer because the timer stops completely, which is also inconvenient when you are on a break. Lots of issues with IntervalTimerHIITTimer.

Great concept, as most HIIT or Tabata timers make you enter what feels like an insane amount of data for a simple circuit workout. In this aspect, IntervalTimerHIITTimer is awesome. Simple & no-nonsense.

Where it needs improvement:
- Final exercise just stops. No 3-second countdown,... Show more no “rest” or ending announcement.
- You have the ability to pause during work/rest, but this seems to negatively affect the timer at the end. 3-second cues fail, timer circle doesn’t move anymore, etc.
- If you navigate to another app while this is running, it auto-pauses. For those of us (most people these days) who have their workout program on their phone, this is annoying. I need to be able to check my next couple exercises during a rest period & have the timer continue.
- Locking the phone stops the voice cues. I don’t need the screen on for 30 minutes, this is a battery issue.

IntervalTimerHIITTimer is ALMOST perfect. However- with the last set I always experience difficulties. For some reason the last exercise does NOT count down where there is 3 seconds left, it just stops. So here I am doing the work out way longer than I have to or I have to keep an eye on the timer... Show more which is the last thing I want to be focused on during my work outs.
Hope this can be fixed!

I rarely pay for apps but I love how intuitive this timer is, so I forked over the $1.99. The only reason I paid was to be able to save my workouts, but when I click on my favorites, IntervalTimerHIITTimer crashes. Every single time. So although I genuinely believe this is the best timer out there... Show more , I wouldn’t suggest paying for it if you want to be able to save the same timed workouts to do again. I hope the developers can fix this issue!

Using the basic timer (didn’t pay for premium) and so far like the setup. Will test it in an actual full class tomorrow and review again afterwards. During my messing around with it it has paused in the midst of my rounds and asked for a review and then restarted my workout which was frustrating so... Show more I hope it won’t do so during my actual class.

IntervalTimerHIITTimer is a simple, no BS app. It’s super easy to set up and quick so you spend more time working out and LESS time preparing IntervalTimerHIITTimer . The only thing I wish IntervalTimerHIITTimer had is a volume adjustment for the counting cues. Sometimes I miss them because it’s ... Show more too quiet if my song is loud. With that simple fix it’s a five star app. I went ahead and paid the $9.99 and hope the developer makes the small requested changes.

I use IntervalTimerHIITTimer almost daily for HIIT workouts.
Pros: Super easy to set timers, I can go from blank to starting my workout in 5 seconds. The visual ques and big numbers are helpful, as my phone is on the ground. The audio works perfect and doesn’t interrupt my music! This is BIG. N... Show more othing more frustrating than timer apps with audio that stop my music mid workout.
Cons: The history page could be better. Ex: you can add a calendar to see all of the days I have worked out. Or include more motivating stats?

It gives a 3 second countdown before the end of a workout/rest for easy transition and a halfway alert when you’re halfway through an exercise so you need to pay virtually zero attention to IntervalTimerHIITTimer or time. Makes it super easy to focus on doing your best workout and not worry about ... Show more how much time is left! You’re done before you know it, even when your workout gets tough (:

I really like IntervalTimerHIITTimer. The interface is easy to use and looks great. I ended up buying the lifetime $9.99 version. The only problem I have with it is that the announcer is silent on the last set. It doesn’t say half way or count down when it is finished as it does on all the other r... Show more ounds.
