## Review summary

Seconds Pro is widely appreciated for its customization, voice prompts, and flexibility across workout types. However, multiple users report significant issues on the Android version, particularly with music selection and playback, missing features compared to iOS, and annoying pop-ups. The text-to-speech limitations and occasional crashes or UI annoyances like auto-rotation decrease usability. Overall, it remains a useful app but has several usability and feature gaps on Android that affect the experience.

### Pros

- Highly customizable and versatile for different types of workouts and interval timers.
- Voice prompts are useful and help guide workouts effectively.
- The app supports customization of colors, workout structures, and routines, providing good organization.
- Works well for various activities including fitness, yoga, meditation, and even productivity timing.
- Generally easy to use and praised for flexibility and built-in workout structures.

### Cons

- The app's music playback and selection features are problematic; users report issues selecting audio and lack of control over music folders or background music volume.
- Android version lacks features and updates compared to the iOS version, including missing support for Galaxy watches and deprecated sound settings for new workouts.
- Annoying frequent pop-ups such as rating prompts and exit confirmations that cannot be disabled.
- Text-to-speech function only announces exercise names in pre-made workouts, not in custom ones, which is misleading to users.
- The app tends to crash or not save/resume timers when navigating away, and screen auto-rotation during timers is considered annoying with no option to disable it.
