Gymboss Interval Timer for Android
Gymboss works exactly like it's supposed to. It's a great interval timer, but it suffers from horrible layout issues. My biggest issue with it is that the main screen is dominated on the top half by a giant ad for a "real" Gymboss (that even the purchase to remove ads won't remove) and a bunch of info that should really be in a drop down menu. The "Add timer" button at the bottom is also way bigger than it needs to be; a small button in a corner would work fine.
i use it quite a bit and like it. It's great for short runs, but it seems to drain my battery, so I probably would not use it during a long run of more than 8 miles. One thing I have not figured out -- where do I find my saved workouts?
I love all of the programmability, but the timer doesn't show up correctly on my phone. I could still use it based on the audible cues, but I want to be able to see the entire screen so I'll be looking for something else.
I use this app often when I am setting up my own HIIT workouts. This app is awesome! The setup is easy and even has a playlist setup!
Worked perfectly until I paid to get rid of the ads and now it crashes everytime I try to use it. Much better free apps are available.
Why do you need access to my photos just for this clock timer to work? Makes absolutely no sense.
I really like it. Just wish I could use it split mood on my phone or add pictures into it.
I love this app and use it loads but please allow it to be moved to the sd card my device memory is quite precious.
Paid to remove ads. Giant banner is not part of the ad that is removed, confirmed by support. Already have a physical GymBoss, don't need the banner. And it's a go&&@mn f#@kin ad! I paid. Remove it! F#@k!
Easy to use. Does what it is supposed to do. Try doing bodyweight squats for 20 seconds on 10 seconds off 8 rounds.
I try to add a new interval and it beeps and nothing happens.
Paying doesnt remove adverts... so please don’t pay these liars.
Really great timer app. Love it.
music playlist not working. crashes everytime i try to select playlist
No one can beat this app ...the best...
Paid to remove ads. But large banner remains. That was not part of the deal.
I use to for quick intense workouts
Wish i could turn the volume up though!!! Its soo quiet! :(
It's great, easy to use, but it lacks one very important feature that other apps have: it doesn't read the description of your next interval aloud. It changes color, which would be great if I was actually looking at my phone - but I'm not.
A few years ago I bought a very fine and easy to use gymboss timer. After a lot of use, I had to replace it with a new version. What a dissappointment, the quality left too much to be desired. Control buttons hard to use , the strap a cheap version of what it used to be. The settings more complicated to use. The new version took away many good features and the changes devalued the timer. The new version of the Android app has experience a similar change. The older app was easy to set and use with my mobile phone. Why you had to change the sound features ? Before, you set the timer, start playing your MP3 player and all fine and dandy. Now, everytime that each interval finish/start the music is muted for 5-8 seconds. There is not need for that. The volume of the alarm is good and loud enough to be heard over the music. Please repair what you have done wrong. Do not change what does not need to be changed and mantain the quality of your product. Your timers are still good, but at this pace you will dissapear from the market soon !!!
1st time use it stops and brings up a screen inviting me to "go premium " presumably to get rid of popups so the rest timer can start. Otherwise you can't touch it with bag gloves on. So I stop and pay. App continues same behavior aftet paying for premium. Utter rubbish. Dont waste your hard-earned.
Its good and nice customize options available to set own interval timer. I have seen there is option for music playlist but I am not able to set any playlist, Its shows default playlist None
This ticks all the boxes for me. Very useful app. Took me about 10 minutes to get the hang of it though so can be a bit confusing for some people at first... but came to realise it can do everything my old gym boss can do with a few more nice features
Tried adding my own timer with the intervals and it was all screwed up. And yes I did it right. Find a different interval timer in my opinion. Unistalling now
Like the app but it would be great if there were the option to have it vibrate at the end of the interval, without having to use the 3-2-1 vibrate countdown function. Instead of the standard *beep beep* you could introduce a *buzz buzz* option.
Does all I need. Very happy!
Does exactly what I needed it to do!
Is there a away you can save your workouts and save/send them to another phone, don't want to use my good phone while working out
After the update - I'm removing it. Totally not comfortable for use as before
I have a real Gymboss, and would rather use that than this app. It's slow, and doesn't have as many features as other timer apps on the market.
Excellent
Love it!
Love it!
Easy for a novice like myself.
This app really worked just the way u would think no glitch nothing just perfect
Its really easy to use this app
The old version is so much better. This one you have to hit start like 3 times before it starts. There are popups after each timer finishes. No way to auto start. Wishing i never updated this app. Keeps telling you to go premium even after you do. There is nothing to benefit from going premium.
From reading reviews I knew I would lose my timers by updating but its constant nagging to update is worse than finding a new timer. Just thought I would leave you a 1-star forever as a parting gift.
I had the old version before the major UI overhaul, and I liked it. It was straight forward and simple to use. Now (for me) it's a bit confusing. "Less is more and simple is better"

I love this app, it's user friendly interface and clear display make it a must have workout buddy for me. I only wish it would have a feature to show what the next upcoming interval is, so I can prepare during my rest time.
