  4. [R42] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 4/5 · GB good basics but could use more: this app really helps me keep track in my workouts. however i’d benefit from… 1) being able to name my workouts. loading a previous workout is helpful but if i could actually save and name them, it would save some guesswork. 2) the voice that reads out exercise names is deep and hard to distinguish. could this be a woman’s voice instead? (would also be nice to have

  9. [R20] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 5/5 · GB Workout: Works perfectly
  10. [R41] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB Couldn’t use it: This looked like a good app for HIIT but when I went to use it I could not get past the first part where you put the time in and named the exercise you were doing I tried for 15 mins to get it to move to the next step but nothing happened so I deleted it. 1 star and that’s only because I felt I had to put something down to rate it, can’t understand why they can’t make these apps u
  11. [R3] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB You have to pay: If it’s a compulsory subscription service, just say this!
  12. [R5] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB Paywalled: Not a free app, all use aside from your first session is locked behind a paywall.
  13. [R9] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB No free usage after first workout: The fact that this app only lets you do a single workout for free, then forces the premium model on you is a real disappointment. After the first workout they also pop up the review panel which is misleading since most users wouldn’t be caught by the paywall at that point. The app functionality is great but be prepared to pay for it or uninstall 🤷

  15. [R11] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB Not free: I downloaded did one workout and then you have to pay - why don’t you just say that in the blurb
  16. [R13] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB Would not recommend: I downloaded this app because I just wanted a simple timer to use for my workouts, the description says there is an “optional” premium pass but I used this yesterday for the first time and had a good experience so today I went back to use it again but I cannot even use the app unless I pay not even the basic timer, I will be deleting this app as it is useless now. It’s such a
  17. [R15] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB Why is this a subscription?: I know the answer.. people will pay it. Ridiculous to have a £3p/m subscription for a timer. Would happily pay a few quid for it as a one off.
  18. [R17] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB You can only use it once then you have to pay.: It will charge you £20 as a one off payment.
  19. [R23] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 1/5 · GB £20 for a timer…?: I did not think this could be real, the developers actually want £3/month or £20 for a timer? It’s almost laughable but it’s also sad
  20. [R34] Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer 5/5 · GB Shame no have on Apple Watch: Is definitely the best one for sure. And I having been using lots of this apps. It is clear. You can keep track of exercise and rounds as u are doing. Simple design and no faff of adding thing you don’t need. However, you can’t use on Apple Watch. So if you are at the gym, u need to use your phone. Which is annoying. Shame.
