"I've been using the Round Timer app on my iPhone for about as long as I've had my Iphone... If you're someone that's training for rounds, doing circuit work, etc. this app is worth your 99 cents. With the level of customization you get, the app is competitive with the way more expensive round timer devices that can cost upwards of $10-100."

Description -

The Round Timer was the first round/sparring/boxing timer available in the AppStore and, as a result, the most refined and stable. Don't be fooled by knock-offs (other developers copying our interface and layout).

The Round Timer is a convenient round/boxing/sparring timer for your iPhone/iPod touch, now compatible with iOS 8. The Round Timer is a fully functional round/sparring timer that allows you to customize the length of the rounds, warning bell and resting period. Each of these intervals can be configured separately up to an hour. It will run in the background even if you switch to another App.

With the sound themes, you can choose which alarm sounds to use: boxing/MMA, a relaxing Zen theme, and a few others. Don't like any of the dozens of preinstalled sounds? Don't worry! You can record your own sounds.

For large, loud environments you can plug your device into a stereo, or for small sessions put it in the corner of the mat. The Round Timer is great for any sparring or interval training: boxing, MMA, grappling / bjj, martial arts, yoga, meditation, crossfit, exercise, workout, stretching, etc.

Working out to music is not a problem. Start your music playing in the iPod app, then start RoundTimer. The sounds will play over top of your music without interrupting it.

Please feel free to e-mail support@plainandsimplesoftware.com to suggest new sound themes!

Interested in interval training (Tabata, symmetrical, etc... intervals)? Check out our "IntervalTimer". Want more control? Check out "UltraTimer". Want full programmability and randomized intervals? Look at "UltraTrainer".

User Reviews

Users praise Round Timer for simplicity, customization, and saving multiple timer profiles, but major recurring issues hurt usability: iPad landscape/layout problems after updates; unreliable alarms; presets causing UX regressions; and occasional crashes or timekeeping glitches. Fixing iPad compatibility, improving alarm reliability, and refining presets would significantly boost satisfaction.

Pros

Simple, user-friendly timer with flexible interval timing.
Ability to save and name multiple timer profiles for quick reuse.
Wide range of sounds and customization options for rounds and rests.
Clear, one-screen interface for easy configuration and review of settings.
Versatile enough for workouts, boxing/kickboxing, meditation, and yoga.

Cons

iPadOS updates have broken landscape support, causing the timer to appear off-center or cropped and UI elements to overlap.
Alarms and sounds can stop or become unreliable after multiple rounds or updates, reducing reliability.
The presets feature introduced UX regressions, including not remembering the last-used timer and crowded/rest-time visibility.
Occasional crashes or timekeeping glitches during sessions disrupt timing.

I’ve been using RoundTimer for a long time and it used to open centered on my iPad screen in landscape orientation. After updating to the iOS 26.2.1, the app no longer opens in landscape, and it’s stuck on the side of the screen, and part of the display is cut off. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, restarting my iPad, and even resetting settings, but nothing fixes it. The app is now very difficult to use, and this problem seems to be related to compatibility with the latest iPadOS. Please update RoundTimer so it fully supports landscape on modern iPads and opens centered again.

Round timer has been good to me for many years. But it is actually a rectangle.

by Jo*****, 2025-04-17

It lowers the volume if the app is running a time. Which is a useless function and makes the experience worse. Because you have to raise the volume all the way up to hear your music. And that causes the round counter noise to be obnoxiously loud and when the program stops your music is blaring. The fix would be to only lower the volume of your music when the round buzzer is making noise. But this flaw ruins the experience and makes me not want to use this app 10/10 do not recommend
