Tabata Stopwatch Pro (Paid) App Reviews

Love the app. Two additions I see are to be able to add a different sound for 1) the recovery period beep and 2) the three second beep leading into the recovery phase. But the other features like playing music of my choice and working in the background/locked (pro) are awesome. Perhaps in the future Ill be able to record voice prompts of my own and incorporate them into the timer as motivation or in addition to the rest, exercise prompts currently available.

As a fitness instructor, this is a great app for Tabata or any other simple interval training. As it is, it’s fantastic; a few additions would make it even better. I contacted the developer regarding adding a cool-down section at the end of the workout with no sounds and I heard back immediately with a promise that this would make it into the next version of the app (I’ve since realized that if I start the music from the Music app as opposed to this app then this isn’t an issue). Like another reviewer said, a different sound option to indicate the recovery section would be great since people hear the same “work” sound and want to start again. Depending on the music level (especially with Sound Check turned on), some of the sounds can be too loud; an option to adjust the sound level would be appreciated.

Great app - its feature-rich. I love its flexibility in setting up sets and cycles, as well as ability to add music and built-in sounds/queues to help your workout move along. I never circuit train without it!

Love the multitude of sounds to choose from and the smooth and minimalist interface. Would like to see the option of choosing a different sound for the recovery set, it confuses my athletes as to when they should be starting the next set.

Id recommend this app. To every one need an interval stopwatch. Its amazing.

I wrote a complainy review about how this didnt work with the screen locked. Turns out it was a bug with a fix in just a couple days. Now I feel like a jerk.

Its easy to use, with plenty of customizations if you want to tweak the workout. I love all the different interval buzzers. The developer is very responsive to requests too.

Does everything I need for any workout routine. Pro version is worth it. A different sound for recovery intervals is all that was really missing but it has that, too.

This is a GREAT app to workout!!

Im a personal trainer and I use this app almost every day. HIIT has never been easier to maintain for my clients. Being able to adjust the time of each interval, the rest periods and the music in the background allows me to focus on the client rather than watching my stop watch or clock. It keeps individual sessions on track and on time! I highly recommend the Pro version so you can save your setups. It saves time which keeps you focus on training instead of App configuration.

1. I would like to have my workouts on the screen as the timer goes. 2. I would like to be able to be able to have a different time for each set. This app and the HIIT app should be merged. I give this 3 stars because I know they can do it, but in an effort to make more money they make 2 separate apps. Neither of them are perfect, but together they could be. Also, it is weird having "Sets in the middle of the time and "Cycles". We read left to right, so the sets should be on the left.

Started tabata style work-outs b/c they totally squash my lame "Im too busy to work out" excuse. Bought the timer b/c I HATE adds. Gave 5 stars b/c it does what its supposed to do like its supposed to do it. AND!! Im Mr Attention Deficit and have put it to good use when studying, managing my work load while on the job, and in countless other areas where my time and focus need a lil management assist.

Fully customizable. A priceless tool for my interval training!!! Dont bother with the others they all seem to be lacking at least one important component. This one nails it all. The only thing I would like added is a lock screen widget!

Very simple and wish there was more to it, but at least the devs bothered to update the app when most dont.

This app is perfect for all my workouts.

Really helps with the specific areas I want to work on... Never have to stop to set time for intervals or sets now Love this

Use it to help with home exercise from physical therapy. No more keeping track of counting in my head and sets finished. Now with orientation you can view screen whatever position you use. This app inspires me to do my physical therapy every night. Improvements of app would be edit current set and save. Now one has to save new set and delete old set to make a change. Another improvement iCloud sync to use across devices iPad iPhone etc.
