Review summary

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, effective interval timing, and good smartwatch integration, especially with Samsung Galaxy Watch. The inclusion of a watch pause feature and background operation are welcomed. However, many users express frustration over the inability to configure multiple sets needed for complete Tabata workouts, frequent intrusive ads, occasional syncing problems with smartwatches, and limited navigation controls like skipping intervals or restarting rounds. Saving presets can also be unreliable. While functional, these cons hinder the full potential of the app for advanced interval training.

Pros

Works well as an interval timer for HIIT and Tabata training.
Clean, simple, and easy-to-use interface.
Operates effectively with smartwatch compatibility, especially Samsung Galaxy Watch.
Allows music playback at normal volume during interval alerts.
Includes a pause function on the watch version.

Cons

Lacks ability to set multiple exercise blocks or sets, limiting Tabata protocol use.
Frequent and intrusive ads, including video ads, disrupt user experience.
Issues with saving new presets reliably.
Problems syncing with certain smartwatches like Pixel Watch and occasional syncing issues with Samsung Galaxy Watch.
No option to skip to next or previous intervals, and lacks restart round button.

2024-08-17	Al*****	Works as an interval timer, though I can't actually use it for tabata protocol, as there are no options to set the amount of exercise blocks. Tabata consists of a few blocks by 8 intervals 20s work / 10s rest, with the bigger rest time (60s) between the exercise blocks.

2024-04-12	Kr*****	This app works well and is easy to set up. It would be nice if it would set up to start again when the round ends so I don't have to exit the ad then navigating back to the main screen. But it's not that big of a deal to press a few buttons to get back to the timer I am using. And sometimes it refuses to save a new preset I create, that's annoying but not the end of the world.

2024-03-20	Je*****	Helps me focus as a pomodoro timer. As a mom, I usually have to drop everything mid task and attend my kids. With this, it vibrates on my watch at the end of every minute, helps me remember what I was doing, and how much time I got left. Great for motivation. I just do wish the watch had a pause button like the phone does. Edit: they added the pause button on the watch! Awesome! Totally getting premium
