Review summary

Users appreciate Sezzy Timer's integration with Sarah's workout ebooks, ease of use, and affordable price. It offers voice-guided timing and custom workout creation. However, many users report frequent glitches with voice prompts cutting out mid-session, crashes causing restarts, and inability to resume workouts from interrupted points. The timer may pause or count time inaccurately when app is backgrounded. Users also desire volume controls and more robust UI support. Despite frustrations, the app remains valued for its guidance and convenience.

Pros

Integrates well with Sarah's e-book workout programs.
Easy to use and convenient for timing workouts.
Provides guided voice instructions and countdowns to maintain workout flow.
Affordable price point, offering value for money.
Allows custom timer creation for personalized workout routines.

Cons

Voice guidance cuts out or glitches mid-workout, leading to confusion.
App crashes or stops in background, forcing users to restart workouts from the beginning.
No option to resume or jump to a specific exercise or set after interruption.
Timer sometimes counts too quickly or pauses unexpectedly when the app is backgrounded.
Lacks volume adjustment for voice cues and has UI issues with display on some devices.

2024-05-22	Ri*****	The app is well designed for Sarah's e-book programmes, but 5 years later and it's still glitchy and often non-functional. The voice that tells you when to start/stop exercises and rests cuts out at random, so you're constantly having to look at your phone just in case, which is a bit pointless. There's also no way to return to a specific point in the programme - God forbid you press the back button by accident, the timer starts from the beginning of the workout. For a paid app - pretty awful.

2022-09-23	Ka*****	shittiest workout timer... seriously fed up with how poorly designed this app is. you have to leave the app to see what workout you're doing next, & when you do it pauses the timer. next thing you know you're like, "why the hell is this minute lasting so long???" & if you accidentally hit the back-button, or your dog manages to somehow, you can't just fast forward to the exercise/set/superset you left off on, you have to start the timer over again & wait for it to catch up

2022-01-29	Jo*****	Sezzy you and your team fixed it!!!! I've always loved this timer but I used to have to jump between it and my music to keep it going. I've been testing it for the last 10 minutes and it hasn't stopped in the background!!! Great timer now made perfect and effortless, thank you!!!!!

2021-09-21	Ja*****	A little annoying that the sound cuts off halfway through the workout especially with it being a paid for app. Would be great if this could be sorted otherwise I would give 5 stars.

2021-05-12	Ky*****	App is awesome. I've used it a few years now but it still continues to crash on me half way through my workouts.. so frustrating because I can't go back to where Iy crashed on the timer so I have to start over and keep closer track to where I am in the sequence. Wish this could be fixed! Aside from that I use it almost daily!

2021-03-16	Lo*****	I love this timer!! I have had other timers, but this one beats them all!! It encourages me to keep working, guides me every step of the way, Sarah's routines are already there, so it's so easy!! And I use the timer for other routines as well, it just makes my life so easier and it's less than $2USD! If you're looking for a good timer for your workouts, give it a try! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Sarah 😘

2020-08-11	Ka*****	Really easy to use and convenient but crashes constantly and there's no way to start back in a specific exercise/round. Really frustrating. Had to restart it like four times in this past workout.

2020-06-25	Sh*****	I've been using the app for 8 weeks and the guiding voice over stops midway through the workouts, so if you're not paying close attention to your screen you get all messed up. but the app is easy to use and super practical if you follow Sarah's workout ebooks.

2020-06-25	So*****	I'm on week 5 and finally made it through one workout without the times glitching. It would be a great app if it didn't keep skipping rounds and talking over itself.
