## Review summary

Users praise Gym Timer as a simple, effective tool for tracking rest periods and sets, with strong Apple Watch support and helpful haptic alerts. However, widespread complaints focus on intrusive ads, unwanted automatic progression between sets, and reliability problems on the Apple Watch. The app remains useful when ads are not disruptive and the watch experience is stable.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use timer that reliably tracks rest periods and sets.
- Helps users stay on task and remember their sets.
- Works on Apple Watch for on-wrist timing during workouts.
- Vibration/haptic alerts signal the end of a rest interval.
- Lightweight, minimal interface that stays out of the way during workouts.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads after updates (including full-screen and banner ads) that interrupt workouts; no option to remove ads.
- Automatic progression to the next set or altered rest times after changes, which disrupts workout flow.
- Apple Watch reliability issues, including timers completing unexpectedly or glitches when used during workouts.
- Occasional crashes/resets when the app runs in the background or while multitasking.
