## Review summary

Box Timer is praised for its simple, distraction-free approach to HIIT timing: a free, no-frills timer that handles intervals, EMOMs, and countdowns without ads or subscriptions. Reviews highlight its minimal UI, ease of use, and practicality as a gym timer. The main recurring drawback is its orientation limitation, with several users noting it works best in portrait mode and that landscape functionality is lacking, though most users feel it delivers value as a portable, reliable timer.

### Pros

- Simple, minimal design with no ads or subscriptions
- Free to use with no hidden fees
- Focused on real gym timer functionality (intervals, countdown, EMOM) without unnecessary features
- Easy to use and edit with a straightforward interface
- Portable and reliable for gym-style workouts

### Cons

- Orientation is limited to portrait mode; landscape usage is either not supported or awkward, making it hard to operate when rotated
