It was hard hard to use when we first got it. Then it was a breeze to set up. NOW IT IS HORRIBLE! Whatever update the app received a few weeks ago made setting up my workouts in accessable. For example, if I wanted 10 rounds of HIIT, the first 3 rounds at 45s, the next 3 rounds at 30s, and the remaining at 60s.....I cannot do it anymore. I was able to before this update. Now I have to stop and set up and use a different timer EVERYTIME. The multi segment doesn't work. Who designs this app¿
Love almost everything about it other than there is not a way to turn down the voice cueing without completely turning it off. If you connect the timer/app via Bluetooth to a stereo along with music the beeping and voice is much louder then the music itself (obnoxiously). I have received complaints from neighboring businesses due to the beep and voice (not music).
Very buggy. Not very intuitive to use. If you make changes to a timer and don't remove the star icon and reset the favorite you will lose all your changes. Sometimes my timer starts from the wrong side when I'm doing multi-segment until I reboot the tablet and clock. The workout shouldnt move to the timer screen unless I explicitly move it. Having said that I LOVE the idea of this app with the timer but it's too buggy for me to give it a 3. A few app fixes and it could easily jump to a 4.
Great garage gym timer, great interface with the app. Only downside is it'll error and not show what's on the app. It's annoying when it happens, but it's not very common. And, you can never lose the remote. Had the large timer donated to our CF gym in Kuwait (Crossfit Spartan Shield) it was a huge improvement from what we had before. That's what made me want one in my garage gym. Best timer on the market. I also rely like the ease of use on the app and all the different functions.
Everything was going great until whatever update or "fix" the app has undergone recently. Now I'll be over halfway through with a workout and the timer will just shut itself off. Please fix this, it was such an amazing app until this happened. I can't play music anymore because it will just shut itself off.
I love it, and use it quite often for interval/circuit training. I wish it had a pyramid setting that I wouldn't have to enter every interval at a different time, making it a bit more time consuming. Also would be nice to save favorites when you finish a workout you intend to repeat.
Look no further. Seriously this is easy to use and it works well. I use it mostly for boxing and ab routines with occasional hiit and tabata. I've used for so long (1 year+) and I plan to keep using it. (fyi I use while I'm listening to music and it integrates well with that) Kudos to the creator of this app for making something so useful to people.
Easy to use but the signals don't go off when the phone is locked. Unless I press a button on my phone, I don't know where I am in my workout. I blew through several rests before I realized what was happening. Fix that and this would be a 5* app. I really like this but will uninstall if no feedback can be provided on this... Thx.
Great features but creating custom timers is really confusing. Sometimes changes will save and sometimes they won't. I still can't figure out why. Not intuitively designed.
This app is perfect. I can set up any type of workout very easily. Any type of workout! Tabata, EMOM, circuit rounds, with or without rest periods. And it doesn't have to be open to use it, so I can mess around with my music apps while using it.
The app's connection with the physical timer is terrible. Each day I go to use the timer, I have to force stop the app and then restart my phone. Otherwise, it will never find the timer. When they do connect, it is great. But having to restart my phone in order for the app to work is absurd.
It's good, but interface could be better, it's not very intuitive and the app is a bit buggy at times. I like that you can customize all the timers and save them for different workout routines. It's a big help for all my workouts!
Works Great!! Just a little difficult to figure out in the beginning with how to truly set up the timer for the rounds and rests. Other than that one toy get it, it works phenomenally. Great download and easier to use than others. Try it for sure.😁
Has been working great until lately. All of the sudden it keeps shutting down if I try and edit a favorite timer. One suggestion is to be able to adjust the order of favorites timers. I'd prefer them to be alphabetized or allow us to reorder them on our own.
I LOVE THIS!!! Everything I was looking for in a gym timer, and then some. First and foremost, I like that the sound is played thru headphones rather than the phone speakers which is just plain rude to other people in the gym. And, you have the option of hearing verbal cues (from possibly the coolest guy on this planet) to tell you when to start, stop and rest. You have the option to use a timer beeping sound instead if you prefer that, but why would you lol Easy to use ... 5 Stars
I will have to retract my previous review on this app. The app crashes on me consistently now and I'm not about to complete one full circuit of my workout without having to get up and restart my timer. It will say 'go' but will never countdown to the next round; it just crashes. 2 stars and I am getting a new gym timer app.
Stand alone app = 5 * Actual timer = 5 * The connection between the 2? Zero * ALWAYS loses connection (Not during use, After the timer is closed). And is absurd to try and reconnect. Update: dev emailed me that link. It's for S10 phones. I don't have an S10. The issue is with disconnecting or closing the timer. Every time I try and reconnect I have to unplug the timer 6 times, force close, clear caches, and cross my fingers, etc. Waste a bunch of time and ultimately won't connect anyways.
The audio beeps interrupt music. You can either turn them all off or all on but you can't select which ones to keep (for example keep start and stop round but not the countdown). No way to prevent them from interrupting music playing in other apps.
Nice flexible timer! There is an issue with Bluetooth connectivity and my Samsung Galaxy Note10+. The problem is with the phone and not the app, so can't fault Flex Timer for that. Clearing the Bluetooth cache fixes the issue, but it's kind of irritating.
This timer has seen me through a rough year. It's intuitive, flexible and easy to figure out. It has a BIG timer and talks back to you. I use it 5+ times a week. The only addition I world make is the ability to label an interval. Thanks dev!
If you're looking to waste your time, then this is the app for you. I spent 1.5hrs creating a few interval trainings, and saved them to my favorites once completed. Next morning when I went to workout, they were all gone! Complete waste of time. Do not use
Best timer app ever. So many options to help me use my phone ALOT less during work outs and get through them alot quicker. I don't have the clock to connect to but I use my blue tooth head phones and there's a narrator counting down and stuff . Love the app so far.
I wanted an app that would continually clock 30 seconds on it's on (intervals). This app not only allows for that, but you can customize the intervals to run through sets as well. It's great.
The Emom timer keeps beeping three seconds before each round, I've disabled it a thousand times, changed it, erased and and re set the timer again... I want one beep every minute, not three. At the same time those three beeps add to the minute instead of being part of the minute so you do one minute and three seconds (of beeps) each round, what makes it impossible to coordinate with external timers.
This is an awesome timer. I do a nice 12 round chest blast routine I found online. I set round internal and rest in between. I really like that the Flex Timer has a countdown before each round, and it's audible. You can also save a favorite routine. Cool app, 5 stars!
Love it! I found lots of HIIT timers, and countdown timers which weren't really what I wanted. Then I found this and it had exactly what I needed which was the EMOM (every minute on the minute). It's even better than I hoped as I can use the round timer to adjust the intervals between rounds - it's super flexible! I haven't used the heart rate features but will do at some point. And there are timers for pretty much every sport you could ever need to time. Excellent app!
