Gym Timer-Timer for rest time Reviews

I was looking for an interval timer that syncs with my Apple Watch. I use to use one that was really great, it allowed you to customize the intervals and times but the recent update and aggressive advertisement that will pop up in the middle of the timer and stop my background music was beyond frustrating. The last thing you want to do while pushing through a difficult set is have your music stop and start hearing an advertisement blast in your ear. GymTimerTimer is simple and does exactly what I want, even without being able to customize different time it’s worth it. I hope they continue to update GymTimerTimer in positive ways. Also, the fact that it’s free and the ads on it are minimal is the biggest plus. The last app I tried was trying to sell me a subscription to use it, unbelievable.

After upgrading to iOS 14, the stock stopwatch no longer keeps the screen unlocked. Super annoying. Found this one free in GymTimerTimer Store and now I no longer have to keep reaching over to tap my screen while I’m in the middle of a plank.

This is exactly what i was looking for.. i always miscount which set I’m on after my interval rests are completed… But this countdown timer also keeps track of the number of sets left to go, so that’s no longer an issue! Such a big help!

My gym routine requires that I adhere to strict rest times and that I progress to shorter rest periods every week. This is the only timer that I have found that allows me do this on the fly. Stop searching, you have found GymTimerTimer you have been dreaming of.

I could not hear the end timer alert, but figured out it was the ringer switch on the side of the phone. Anyway, this is really a minimal app. It does exactly what it’s supposed to. I changed my rating from 1 to 4 stars. I have not found any other apps that are strictly focused on rest times so I think it’s great someone actually made this.

It was nice to find a no frills rest timer for weight training. However it would be nice to have GymTimerTimer available as a complication. Navigating back to GymTimerTimer can be clunky when out of breath or fatigued. :)

Title says it all, perfect for keeping your focus and burn up while lifting. Was looking for a totally basic and straight forward app, this delivered. The dials can be a little fussy at times but it’s a very minor gripe. Used it every time since I downloaded it for my weight workouts! Very pleased.

No fluff. Just a simple app that helps me count sets and rest time between. Personally, I have no need for those hundred extra details anyway. Thank you for creating this!

Great little app with simple and easy to use functionality. All the other apps do too much, i just want a timer that tracks my rest periods when i need to with minimal phone fumbling.
The ads are annoying and kill my workout mood.

Great to track rest time and sets you have done. It will be ideal to have a skip button to start next set

I have had no problems with GymTimerTimer. Works great in the gym to time your rest periods. Doesn’t interrupt music and you can easily hear the chime when your break is over! A++

Just what I was looking for something simple that times my workouts! Two thumbs up!

I use GymTimerTimer to time rest periods between my work sets. I get a notification that my rest time is up if I’m not looking at GymTimerTimer . Good stuff 👍

Excellent app for keeping track of my sets and rest times

Pick how many sets and what your rest time should be between sets. Easy to use!!

Can’t figure out how to setup 20 sec reps with 10 sec rest and keep going automatically. Should be a second timer to setup it ?

Won’t stay on. Keeps randomly closing. Otherwise would be great.

There are now video ads between sets. I would gladly pay for this to remove the ads but refuse to use it with ads that stop my music and play annoying things.

Find it very frustrating that there are countdown ads that I have to wait for to skip. This effectively adds unnecessary time to my rest

Do not like the fact that a timer must require health integration to function. Apple needs to find a better way for app developers to do simple tasks without treading on privacy.

I like the idea but it does not notify you when your timer ends if your watch goes dark. A timer that doesn’t notify you when it’s over is useless. I emailed asking for help but received no response.

The ap needs a time option for circuit training, timed exercises etc. it only tracks reps and rest time.

Every time I accidentally click an add and go back into GymTimerTimer it crashes. Fix it and not being able to hear the noise sometimes.

I downloaded GymTimerTimer specifically for the Apple Watch but it does not work. I get error messages on the watch app when I try to use it.

Alerts are low keep the screen on!

Basically a countdown. Which any phone is already capable of

Useless bc GymTimerTimer will not sync HealthKit permissions.
