Ratings and reviews

I use this weekly for my HITT runs. You can use "Simple" timer or "Advanced" for more nuance programs. You do have to pay to save your programs, but I don't mind re-inputting the program. Saving for a Lifetime Sub which is a little high (currently ~$20, ~$2 for monthly sub), but worth it. Even free, it's extremely functional, no ads (which makes apps super clunky), no frills/ clean interface, pings and text-to-speech alerts, countdown, custom alert volume), etc.

Great, until I tried to add more intervals to a workout. It let me do this and only when I went to save did it inform me that I had to pay $7 for the privilege. Now, I don't mind premium features being paywalled. Devs have to make money too! But if you're going to do it, be upfront about it. Don't let users waste their time. I've bought the premium versions of apps before, and if I'd known the limits going in, I might have purchased this one. Instead, I'm uninstalling and finding something else.

1. You should put the things you can do in the free version vs the pro version in the description of the app before they even decide to download it. 2. Yes you can test things, but as soon as you close the app out, all of that data is gone and you have to re-enter it every time you workout. It's not usable unless you pay and that part needs to be clear in the description. I'm not saying it's not worth the price, but people need to know when searching that this isn't a free app.
