More About Seconds Interval Timer
Non-paying users may create as many timers as they wish, but once an interval timer is started it may not be used again. Upgrading to the full version removes this restriction.
FEATURES:
• Large, full screen, color coded display that is easy to read from a distance. The display works in either landscape or portrait.
• Templates for HIIT, Tabata and circuit training. A custom template to create every interval. And the compound editor where you can combine many interval timers into one.
• Speaks your interval names so that you can follow a workout without seeing the screen at all. Seconds can even provide prior warning of the upcoming interval. Other alerts including beeps and bells are available.
• Coordinate your music with your Tabata workout. Each interval can have its own music assigned allowing you to match the intensity of your music to the intensity of your HIIT workout.
• Seconds runs in the background allowing you to either have your display off, or use other apps while the HIIT timer is active.
• Export and import. Share the Tabata timers with friends or download them from the web and install them in Seconds.

I have an S21. The scroll button when selecting a song for a step is much to small to grab and scroll. I also need the option to stop the songs/playlists from repeating themselves like the iPhone version of this app if I want to rate 5 stars. There's a lot of features missing from the iPhone version that make it hard for me to love this app. Why can't I speed up the voice? Why is the step text cut off on the timer editing screen? What I do like is that the music doesn't stop playing otherwise.

So far this is exactly what i am looking for. My main objective was to make a HIIT workout that used different music for each excersise and a between set song. This app does exactly that. The only limitations are with music. It's not the apps fault but you have to have local music stored on your phone and point each excersise to the song or album you want. It's easy if you use a YouTube converter and save your fav songs. Loving this app.

Practically perfect in (almost) every way! I use this so for some exercise, but mostly for keeping me focused during routines. It's absolutely fantastic -- all the functionality I need without gobs of bells and whistles to wade through ...... But it would be nice if there was a "bulk entry" mode for setting a bunch of different intervals. The interface isn't bad for 5 or even 10 different intervals, but it takes a dang long time huddled over your phone or going through their type-click-type-click online interface to enter 55 intervals.

*Update 03.13.20* Works great now. No issues. If you're looking for an internal timer that's easily customizable, this is it. Previous Review Crashes about 18 minutes in every time I'm trying to do a session of run/walk. This using one plus 7 pro. It would be perfect if it did not crash, as it was easily customizable. I would like to request a refund since this app is unusable for me. Edit:. I found possible work around. Will update review after I test it more.

This app has actually changed my life. The ability to just hit play and then follow along to any workout or exercise I took a few minutes to create has made me SO much more likely to stay on top of my routines. I use it for stretching, workouts, HIIT, hangboard training for climbing, breath work, cold plunging, and certain guided meditations. I'm sure I will keep adding more to this list as I continue using it.

I like the flexibility of being able to really customize anything I want with this timer, and the templates that allow some things to be done fairly quickly. I like the Text-to-Speech so I don't have to look at it for every interval. I would like it better if when I tapped in the field labeled "Exercise 1," I didn't have to backspace to delete all that before typing what I want the field to be called. But it's been very helpful.

As a timing app, it's great. However, the fact that the app doesn't respect device settings for locking orientation is aggravating. Unless you lock the screen within the app, the app will try to find the "best" orientation between portrait or landscape, usually resulting in a constant swap between the two. However, once locked in the app, it locks all interactions and you can no longer pause, restart, etc.. The last thing I want to do mid-exercise is wrestle with my timing app.

Pretty cool app. It can be used for other routines or activities as well, like a timer for brushing teeth, and the voice mode can even dictate the next task in the routine - so, yeah, pretty cool! Edit: It would be nice to be able to use the selected google assistant voice to speak the commands, but it only seems to let you use the default google voice. Also, how can I pull music playlists from Google's Play Music app, or other music players?

I hope future upgrades will include a log of workouts I've completed. March 2023 I love this app. Makes working out a breeze to track. Keep up the good work. I have a new ask: At times I want to change the interval of individual time segments (think HIIT) but I have manually change each segment. Can you upgrade that this change is only done in one place--like we do for rest periods in a circuit timer. Please and thank you.

Works as advertised. Can set multiple countdowns, intervals, etc. I use this for workout set breaks (45 seconds) for walking/jogging intervals (2 mins walking, 45 seconds jogging), and battle ropes (45 seconds on, 15 seconds rest, for 8 sets). Timer speaks over music and anything else on the phone to state midpoint, and 3 second countdown to next internal. Colors can be customized and counter can be set to full screen. I use it for every workout.

I used the free version for a few months before realizing that the full version would be worth it to me. The many customization options and modes are great, and I definitely think it's worth the price if you're planning on using it more than a handful of times. I couldn't figure out how to sort and organize the different workouts, but the developer quickly responded with directions when I reached out. The only thing I would change would be a color selection wheel or more color presets.

Overall this is a great Exercise Timer. Being able to create/save workouts, label the exercises, and voice announce the next movement is amazing. The only reason it got 4 instead of 5 stars is because there's no option to control music behavior, such as lowering the volume from a music app (i.e. YouTube Music) when a sound signal is played.

I continue to use this app because it's indispensable but for the years I've used it, it has persistently suffered from the same issues. Namely: stuttering countdown (how did an app named Seconds manage to not even measure a second accurately?) and frequent app crashes on longer timers or when timers are running in the background. These issues have prevented me from springing for the paid version.

Edit 2/8/19 Got an update for the app yesterday that I didn't bother to read, and I just figured it out. I love that I can color code all of my workouts and slide them around to make organizing them much easier. I can group them together and it was easier to find the workout that I wanted to do by color, instead of having to scroll the 50+ timers that I have. Edit 3/31/19......the timers voice has changed and is really monotone. She can't even say 25 🤦🏾♀️

App works really well. I wish I could save my timers without having to buy it. I only use into time strength training and hiit intervals so I don't need to purchase it. *edit* probably going to find a different one that doesn't get increasingly more difficult to use the free version. I don't need anything fancy and I hate having to back all the way out of timer to edit it

The work is pretty good. There is granularity missing, such as setting the tone to the start of a break in compound interval training. Furthermore, there are issues starting the app on my Samsung A71, which has me restarting the phone when I want to use the app. But I will keep on using it, it's nevertheless a food app.

To be honest, I was a little confused going into app. The limited access of free version made it harder to understand since you couldn't really play around with different features of the app. But after I got over the learning curve (and brought the full version), this app became really useful for doing HIIT workouts.

The premium version is worth the upgrade. A lot of flexibility with the timers you can create. The biggest issue is that the interface is not that intuitive, and certain things should be more obvious to perform. However, play around with the timers and you'll see that this timer is quite capable.

A bit buggy when importing a shared timer more than once. It appears that a second copy is made in the UI, but deleting just 1 of the imported timers deletes all of them. Secondly, the UI isn't intuitive. Like, having to go to thr Organize menu to copy or delete is wrong. Being able to long press on a timer should do an action, IMO.

I got the paid version after using it for a week. It's exactly what it needs to be and nothing more. You set time intervals, name them, color code them, and it runs the timer and vibrates and reads off the names when the intervals change. It even works in the background when I'm listening to music. I use it all the time on spin bikes. It's a no brainer.
