About this app

Create custom countdown patterns exactly the way you like.

After trying several apps and failing to find one that suited all my needs, I decided to write Complex Timer.
Initially developed for sport climbing training: intermittend dead-hangs, fingerboard, or strength-endurance methods, it is very useful if you perform sport training methods like HIIT (high intensity interval training), cross fit, cross training, running, tabata, etc.., Also to control your pauses at work, while studying or rehearsing an exam and for cooking.

Features:

- Nest a group inside another one to create complex patterns
- Move countdowns or whole groups up/down or even inside/outside groups

Ratings and reviews

I have a problem with my mind drifting off while I'm showering, so that I repeatedly forget what I've washed and then take a long time. I set this app to list off the body parts at timed intervals, so that I race against the app and shower quite efficiently. I've found that it is not worth using soap when the bar gets tiny, because it slows the shower down so much that it isn't worth the water. Also, it's quicker to lather with both hands, instead of one.

Awesome simple app. I use this for a couch to 5k program. I had to add them all manually, but exactly what I was looking for. I use GPS and HR from another app, so just the timers is what I needed. If there was one thing I'd like is to add another warning timer. You only get 1 and I use that for around half way marks in my runs, but for longer runs, being able to add more say every quarter would be cool.

Really great! But for only one type of activity. I'm flabbergasted that we can only set global sound/notification settings. I don't know anyone who would use the same sound settings for library study sessions as they would a noisy gym workout routine! So surprised that we can't set sounds at the routine building level.
