The hangboard timer is a unique feature of this app providing a timer with repetitions of short Hang and Rest periods (a Set) followed by a longer Break period. You can customize the number of Exercises, Sets and Rep(etition)s, and select the amount of time for Work, Rest and Break (rest between sets) periods. For convenience, it has 3 default training cycles for beginner moderate and advanced climbers. In these workouts hand grips are shown on the screen. It is also possible to change the settings of a default workout, or setup a complete custom workout.
The other timers can be used for various other climbing or general exercises, such as to time the rest period while performing campusboard training, core fitness exercises, climbing rounds on a boulder wall, ARCing, and many other exercises.

Great idea, but the app keeps crashing. This app needs some thorough bug fixing.
So helpful! Perfect for training as it's already loaded with workouts. Well worth the price!
Why did I not get this before! It's so nice to have the custom timing with beeps so I don't have to look at a timer.
The idea is great but it crashes multiple times per session. Why did I pay for this?
Would be great except app is outdated and crashes consistently.
Paid for full app, app crashes multiple times per session
Crashes randomly, no reminder of what hold you're supposed to be on
I slightly prefer the app, Seconds Pro, because of its versatility. This app will be nicer when it allows for having different number of sets, reps, and timing for each grip. For example, in the book, the intermediate strength workout has one set for the warm-up jug, and two sets for the subsequent grip exercises. There doesn't appear to be a way to set that up with the current functionality of the timer. Also, it would be nice if more of the workouts from the book were included without having to set up a
Awesome. I just did my second beginner hangboard workout, and used this for 3 weeks of base training. It's excellent. Update: I'm on my third season and I still love this app. I don't have to worry about timing my workouts. This thing takes care of it all.
I love this app! However, lately it's been crashing a lot. On average, it crashes about twice per workout... It's usually during the rest, so it's not a huge deal, because I can just restart and skip ahead. Hope it will get fixed soon though!
Great timer features. I don't have to look at the app all the time while training and no longer have to use my phone stop watch. Just wish it had the rock prodigy forge board as an option as its my new favorite board.
Really well thought out and designed app, but I wish it logged how much additional weight (or counterweight assist) you use for each grip, and showed that to you before the next workout.
The app frequently crashes, and it would be nice if the reat timer for workouts could be longer than 10 minutes.
I like the app and using it. But my phone crashed and now on my tablet, and it wants me to purchase again? I saw one reviewer had same issue...
Purchased app on old phone. Wants me to buy again? Love it but whatsup
Love that it lays programs our for you
Have only played with it a little, but it's disappointing that it doesn't show 1/100s since that's something that Mark Anderson (RP method designer) specifically suggests for training since it makes it easier to accurately predict start times for a set. Otherwise looks good and is nicer than a basic timer app.
I love my Rock Prodigy and I've been modifying the program from the old timer to make it work. Nice to have one specific to my board.
Looks free but it's not
I love how this app incorporates the rock prodigy training program with the different hangboard programs. That way I spend more time training and less time messing around customizing a timing app. The only other thing that would be nice is to have is pictures of the trango rock prodigy and which hold to use for the next exercise. When using one of the hangboard routines it only showed a picture of the jug hold,which is the most obvious one, on a different style of hangboard. Overall I like the setup.
I used it for the first time today and really liked it. It is simple to use and the beginner hangboard workout was great. I especially like the pictures (repeated during rest peroid) of what grip to use next . I think the price is very resonable as well.
Seems pretty nice so far. I'll update again after I get more time to try it out. Thanks for fixing that bug!
The app is great. Being used on my Droid. For the Metolius website hangboard routines (3D Simulator), the free "beginner app" is fine. If you want to do more than 2-sets of anything, you will need the "full version" which is only $1.00. (Cheap)! If I may, one suggestion - Since there are very limited numbers of well-known hangboards on the market, add them to this app. That way "full version" subscribers can choose, and see, their specific hangboard when creating their custom routines. Charge a bit more.
Appreciate the specialized design for hangboard workouts...much better than a run of the mill interval timer. I too also had the problem with the preview images so my first time using it had previews for the first two reps but after that nada so I had to guess/make up my own routine on the spot...teething pains and understandable but having the hold photos is a great way to make this app work for all hangboards and not restrict you to certain designs like other apps of this nature that I have seen. Would also recommend adding a hold preview button in the workout timer window for quick double-checks of the hold when you are tired and pumped and forget what the next hold is. Have not tried the customization setting...does it let you add hold photos from a library or can you take a picture of the hold in question? That would be cool. All in all very impressed and also need to say that the price is great too...thanks!
I wish I could save custom workouts. I use two different workouts for each week, and have to rebuild it each time. Also still waiting on the upload feature for the app.
