Round Timer App Reviews

A great tool!!!. Over all a great program especially for conditioning! I'm using it with an external speaker when I train or train others. It now even has a pause button! This app. Is a must 2 have!!!!

Perfect app and device!!. I have been searching for a round timer for boxing and bjj workouts. This is it! You can set the length and it will notify you when the round is almost up (you control that too). The price is the best feature....

Used to be good. It used to be the best. Now - not so much. Why did you remove the ability to pause it by touching the timer screen?

just what i needed.... this program is truly "plain and simple", which is all i was looking for. also, it performs FLAWLESSLY on my ipod touch gen2 with os3.0. i like the fact that i can play my own music, and the timer doesn't interfere with it whatsoever, except for the programmed round-start and warning bells. awesome little app.

PERFECT. the best .99cent app ever! the screen stays lit the whole time while i work out. And it stays lit GREEN/YELLOW/RED--the way it should be. just start music and then start timer and the sound will amplify thru the system so you don't miss the sound. the only thing that would be more useful would be more bell sounds for the end/beginning of the rounds(right now the have 1ring and 7rings) please make 3 and 5--- tip of the hat to who ever is responsible for making this fighting app right.

FINALLY. Why was this so hard?? Maybe I wasn't searching with the right key words, I dunno. But this round timer does it right-- interval time, number of intervals, rest time between each interval, pause before start, and adjustable warning tone before times-up. Plus I can finally play my music behind it! I don't know if Apple finally allowed that option for 3rd party apps, or if these guys are just more clever than most. I don't care, it works. Also, in consideration of that feature, the timer volume can be adjusted independently of the iPod volume. This is perfect for my Kung Fu training! Thank you!

Great App. Works great! Now I won't have to lug my 5 pound interval timer to the gym every time I want to hit the bag. Some reviewers complain the sound doesn't work. I thought it was broken too until I realized the iPhone cannot be set to silent mode. Once I flipped the switch, it worked great!

Excellent. Perfect. Can see all setting on one screen, totally customizable, can save multiple timer profiles, good selection of sounds. I highly recommend this app.

Used to be really good but now has a bug. I love this app for meditation, yoga sets that require long-healed poses with equal time per side, etc. However, after a recent update, the app has started to malfunction: after a few rounds, it keeps on keeping time, with rest periods and work periods, but the alarms stop sounding in between them. I have to force quit the app and restart it. I am sure they're working on fixing this -- at least I hope so. Update: they have fixed this bug. Love this app again.

The App is great, but stuck on the side of the screen after iOS update. I’ve been using RoundTimer for a long time and it used to open centered on my iPad screen in landscape orientation. After updating to the iOS 26.2.1, the app no longer opens in landscape, and it’s stuck on the side of the screen, and part of the display is cut off. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, restarting my iPad, and even resetting settings, but nothing fixes it. The app is now very difficult to use, and this problem seems to be related to compatibility with the latest iPadOS. Please update RoundTimer so it fully supports landscape on modern iPads and opens centered again.

Great Timer. The current IOS has messed it up though. I can not change settings! It is all squished to the left.

glitchy, and better + more sounds needed.. I use this app as a meditation timer -- on the zen setting. The sounds are very poor quality, and there is only one sound that plays that you cannot change. a quality meditation bell, chime would be great -- something with a little sustain to it. also a section like -- wood blocks, crystal bowls etc. Also about 20 seconds after the bell sounds, the app produces alarming popping sounds which go away, but are very disturbing. for 99c this app barely cuts it for now. who ever makes a quality meditation timer for the appstore is going to clean house -- this isnt it.

Forget the rest, this is the best!. I bought this app a while back, and it just keeps getting better. Not only is it an excellent app but the developer was quick to answer my email. This app is easily worth 10 times it's price!

99% perfect....... Okay have had this for a few years and its ridiculously amazing for .99. I'd give this app 11 stars if they would integrate the option to use the touch screen as a start/stop button again. Have a small group that gets together to train in Brazilian jiu jitsu and various striking styles. If we don't wear gloves the thing is perfect, otherwise it's quite a nuisance to take off gloves or mitts to pause or what have you. Used to just use my nose to avoid the hassle. Not sure why it was taken away I've never had an issue with it when it did work. Thanks for an amazing simple app minus the 1% hiccup.

JH. So far I think the app is excellent, but the only change I would like to see is making the 5 second wait time before a round starts either be optional or be removed. There are times when i need the timer to start immediately and not have to wait 5 seconds.

Very useful. I'm so happy I found this app. I use it for sparring and drills. I thought about buying one of those digital timers but they cost a lot.

Almost perfect if only I could hear it. Easy to use, buttons are large and like the fact that I can play music while the timer works in the back ground. Unfortunitly none of the bells/alarms are loud enough and most of the time I can't hear it which sinks. Need to make it so it mutes your music when the alarm goes off like when the phone rings when your listening to ipod. Otherwise this is a great app for the money for someone looking for a boxing type timer.

Awesome app for the price. This timer is very versatile for MMA, Boxing and even works great for crossfit workouts. It is easy to use and can usually be heard over music playing on the ipod part of your iphone. For the price it is well worth it.

Latest update = fail!!. Been using for a long time and have loved it....BUT this last update makes this timer almost unbearable! I have to constantly set my intervals and sounds again because it keeps resetting at random times. I run a boot camp and I cannot have 30 people waiting around because the timer keeps failing! Needs to be fixed fast or else I will have to look for a new timer.

Please integrate with Apple Watch. Love your app, used forever, and need on my watch!! 5 stars once can :)

Great app!. I just downloaded this today and used it when teaching my cardio circuit class. It was perfect for that! Best $0.99 I've spent in a long time.

Music doesn’t automatically turn off. This used to be a 5 star app for our kickboxing studio. The music used to turn off in between rounds when that option was selected. Now, even when you turn that feature on and save your preferences it still plays. Any fix to this and it will be 5 stars!

Used to be great! Now very bad.. Since they added the presets feature this app has become almost unusable for me. It never remembers what my last used timer setup was so every time I open the app it defaults to some random preset that I've never used. Since the preset box takes up so much room the rest time is not viewable without scrolling down which is very annoying. Currently looking for a replacement for this app.

Simple timer for interval type training.. I've been doing a lot of interval style training lately (HIT, Tabata, etc) and my gym lacks sufficiant wall clocks and constantly trying to keep my eye on my iPhone stop watch breaks my rythm. But this app works great for my particular timer/interval needs. Yes, I'd like to set how many rounds I'm going to do. Yes, the sound choices are limited and not of the greatest quality. But they work for my workouts. Although I'd love to have better/more samples to choose from. Was well worth .99 for me.

Right on target. I have tried other similar apps but none provide what this one does - a simple, yet flexible way to get an app set up for timing intervals of any sort. I much prefer it over anything else I have sampled.

WOW. OMG ty ty ty. I was using the timer to count down during intervals and the stop watch to time how long I was resting, this app is fantastic. If you take suggestions here's 2 that can make this app perfect for nearly all circuit trainers which will probably net you more people to sell to than just a ring timer. 1) most times when doing circuits you'll be doing a few things, say, 60 seconds of sprints followed by 30 seconds of pushups, followed by 2 minutes of jumping rope followed by 30 seconds of pullups, followed by etc. Currently you can only really use this for a split. You can set the master timer for how long you want to do 2 things and you can have the "warning" go off when it's time to switch. Adding multiple warnings or even better simply letting the user set up multiple timers where each timer starts after the previous one stops would be best. That way a person could set it up for any number of consecutive exercises in a circuit followed by the rest timer. 2) you should let users set how long the app runs. Currently it just runs infinitely, letting the user choose by either number of circuits, or number of minutes would be great. Then the user can set it and just work out till it stops without having to count how many circuits they've done or worry about looking at the clock to see how much time has passed. That said 5 stars for what it does already, you've made my workouts so much easier!!!

Good Overall. Serves the purpose well. If I could make some changes: 1) Allow iPod use simulatenously with ap so you can listen to music and use the round timer at the same time. 2) Add a Stop feature so you can pause the round and not have to reset the round completely. 3) Add a feature for amount of rounds. When I'm doing intervals, I don't like to count what round I'm doing, but rather concentrate on the exercise at hand. Great app overall though!

ok app. The original software was better for athletic training. Adding too many features is confusing to tired athletes. If you're training with gloves and sweaty hands, it's difficult to touch the right areas. Major feature improvements would be a Basic mode with Round Time in increments of 30 seconds, different sounds for Start of round (bells) and End of round (Buzzer) . All buttons should be larger. A mode switch for keeping the screen powered up during the entire session. Larger numbers, especially when the phone is in "landscape" orientation.

Works well. Overall a great simple application. Very simple and allows short intervals. well worth the price. Things I would like to be added: Round Counter(count down) Customizable sounds

Awesome.... ...app. Does exactly what it says. I use. It for CrossFit and sparring and I couldn't be happier. I especially like that your iPod can be playing and the timer won't interrupt the music.

Versatile timing tool. Whatever issues some prior purchasers have had with the software seem to have been corrected. I use this timer for lots of different drills. The only thing I can think of that would improve this tool is the ability to program a "workout complete" sound once all the sets are done.

Don't update app!!!. Good program,met all my needs. My negative comment is the app will not allow you to use it after you agree to update!!! The program locks you out..You can't u s e it!

Works with iPod. Needed an interval timer to work with my iPod music and this works great. I hook my iPhone to external speaker, start the music & start the timer & get to working out. Well worth 99 cents

Round Timer. THink this is a great app, works with no problems for me, timer and music are play/pausable from timer screnn, fade, new song, etc settings for each round during intervals... Tabata timer already avail., but can be modified and you can creat and save your own timer set ups. I use this app daily for various types of classes, strict workouts or fight drills... can't really say enough about it... nothing but praise for the app.

Great app !!!!. This app is absolutely perfect!!! I cant believe i paid so very little for it. I've been involved in fighting sports for 20 years and during that time i have spent a ton of money trying to find a timer like this one. Perfect for any type of interval training. I've used it for bag work, shadow boxing, forms, low weight high rep weight lifting and road bike work. The updates now allow for any sound bit to be used. If you want "mic" from rocky to tell you that are going to have "greasy fast italian speed!" at the beginning of each round... No problem. Buy this app now, then do what i did... Gather up all your old round timers and list them on ebay.

Very nice but ... (v2.2). Like several of the reviewers below I find this app to be really useful beyond the "ring"; cross and interval training in particular. One feature that would make this app a more complete timer app is the ability to add multiple warnings for each round. For example, if I have a 5min round I would like to hear a warning when 1min, 20sec, 10sec, 5sec, etc is left in the round. For any sort of training, this type of scheme allows you to pace yourself without constantly checking your watch/timer.

Good tool, but needs numeric audio counter. So I usually use the timer while listening to music, however, I never know what round it is, because I'm more focused on exerting as much into my workouts during round and rest during breaks than I am trying to keep track of what round I am in. It would be nice if the audio would announce the current round at the beginning of each one. The muse workout app does this. For example, at the beginning of round 5 a voice should say "Round 5.". Please?!?

Was a great app!. This was a great app when i first downloaded about a year ago, but received a update about a mnth ago and now it shuts off or wont do any sounds after 8 rnds, have to turn it off and restart at rnd 1 and keep doing that everytime rnd 8 comes, i know it was only $1 but still paid for it and its not working! Fix the glich and ill increase the stars, i may just have to delete it and get something else.

Last few updates really caused some problems. I loved this timer prior to the last few recent updates. I used it for everything from HIIT intervals, to my karate class to training for my upcoming marathon. The app stops keeping time (seems to crash) and/or the alarms stop sounding off. I'd rather have the app from two months ago than the new "bells and whistles".

Perfect. I want to get back to hitting my bags after years off. Mostly for a good cardio but also to keep my reflexes sharp. It dawned on me that there might be timer apps for my iPhone. Sure enough there are. I downloaded some free apps to try and they were ok but either I couldn't fine tune the rounds to the seconds or if I could the graphics weren't appealing. And you couldn't save your workout info. Finally I purchased this one which does it all. Great interface, easy to use with many sounds and fine tuning of times and the ability to name and save your workout plan. I plan on slowly increasing the duration as I progress and this allows me to do that. For .99 you can't beat it. Highly recommend and there are many other uses besides the one I am interested in I'm sure. Thanks for a great app

Great App. Love the app. Needs some adjustments but all works well.

Excellent App. For a device that does the same thing, you might pay over $100. This is a great addition to the iPhone. You don't have to watch the timer, but it's there if you need it. I work out to my music while having this going. The notifications keep me on pace and help me have a great work out. It could use a few tweaks, but for the price of a soda, you cannot complain. The dev even provides e-mail for suggestions and listens to us reviewers (greatly appreciated). I love this app, one of the highest ranked for my person use, and it's just cool to have a round timer on my phone instead of buying a standalone device. Vive le iPhone!

Great App!. Round timer has been good to me for many years. But it is actually a rectangle.

Great app. I plug my phone into the stereo when training. I can listen to music from my phone while using the round timer. Great app!

Great app. Simple, does what it's supposed to, user-friendly, awesome!

10/10 do not recommend. It lowers the volume if the app is running a time. Which is a useless function and makes the experience worse. Because you have to raise the volume all the way up to hear your music. And that causes the round counter noise to be obnoxiously loud and when the program stops your music is blaring. The fix would be to only lower the volume of your music when the round buzzer is making noise. But this flaw ruins the experience and makes me not want to use this app 10/10 do not recommend

for Fighters, not Meditators. I almost rated this too low, but, in fairness to the developer, it does what it says it does. For those of us who want to do other types of rounds (like yoga or meditation rounds), the alarming sounds the developer chose to signal the "end of round" and the buzzer at the "end of rest-period" are much too jarring for doing quieter types of "rounds." Since it was only a dollar, it was worth finding out what it could do, but I *** really hope *** someone develops a zen timer, zen chime, or some nice sounding bell (chime, tingsha, singing bowl -- maybe even the user's choice ??) with different numbers of rounds and lengths of time for each round. If you want a timer that makes it sound like you are in the ring, this is the one for you.

THANK YOU FOR THE PAUSE BUTTON!. Ask and you shall recieve. I left a suggestion and the delivered. Well worth the price. This sofware will only get better because the listen to their users. Thanks for listening. IT NEEDS A PAUSE BUTTON. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET THE TIME. SOMETIMES WHILE SPARRING MY INSTRUCTOR WILL STOP US TO GIVE INSTRUCTION AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO PAUSE THE TIME. THEN RESTART IT AFTER INSTRUCTION.

Great timer, just one detail. This app is just what I was looking for. The only thing is missing is how to set the number of rounds you want to work out. With that, without a doubt it would deserve 5 stars. Great job, just that feature and it is perfect.

Not so Good Anymore. I used to love this. But recently when I go into program selection (open) the different programs overlap and making the selection isn’t easy or can’t be done. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading but same thing. Any Fix for this would be appreciated...

Great app. This app is the perfect boxing timer, there is nothing I can think of that requires improvement. Big numbers that get even bigger when u turn your iPod/phone on it's side, different colors of background depending on different stages of countdown and great choice of boxing appropriate sound. Just a great app, I highly recommend.

Great Interval Trainer. Great interval trainer. Only suggestion I have for improvement would be to have the option for a warning sound/time during rest period - I only mention this because sometimes I can not view screen during workout and it would be good to have some notice when the rest period is about to end so i can prepare for the next interval session.

Awsome. Awesome just what I have been looking for to do my boxing training!

Bell not working. The round timer bell does not work after about 5 rounds.

TA. ... needs to count the rounds as well, or count them down.

Terrific- just what I needed. I needed something with the flexibility to provide gentle timings for a series of postures held for two minutes each, with a short interval between for moving to the next. This app works perfectly for me, with its big numbers, unobtrusive colours, and gentle sounds. I love it enough to write this review - my first.

Great for all types of interval training. This is a great app for intervals. As well as the audio cues, the big numbers, and colours (green = go, red = stop/pause) are great as you can concentrate on your activity and not lose your focus when checking your timing. Easy to set up and use first time. Even better that it works with your own music underneath.

on ipod touch. sound not working on touch other than its excellent

Great but not perfect. Great App although the sounds need to be louder over music.

Fix the update please. All was fine until the update, now the bell doesn't work after 5 rounds.

Great app. Great app, ways this app can improve would be adding a warning bell when the rest period is almost over, also the ability of save your timer. I would rate it 5 stars with these features.

A good app, but.... This is a good app and does just what it says. Big numbers and counts down the rounds with or without music and customised sounds. Currently you can only set and store 1 timer. This can be quite limiting if you need to do a number of different activities. It would be great if you could add multiple timers, then sort them into a playlist. Then it would be a 5 star app.

Great app. Great app. Every one who trains with an iPod needs one. PLEASE fade music in an out around the round bells. Tough to hear while music plays. Thanks!

Better than ever!!!!!!!!. Just updated the app. It didn't work at first so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Listento the reviews!. Good app I'll give it 5 stars when it fades out the music. It's hard to hear it while music is playing so update it please. Updated and it's perfect now.

Good app. Really like the app. It is easy to use and works well for doing interval training. I tried a couple of others and this is the best one so far. I would suggest fading music when bell goes and allowing us to enter how many rounds we want.

Timer. Good stuff really handy for training

Finally. I have been waiting for everlast round timer but then I couldn't listen to my iPod. Then I found this. Works great I can play music when hitting heavybag and get my cues for the end of the round. Awesome.

Good app. We really need to be able to control the buzzer sound independantly. Impossible to hear it with music playing.

pretty good but.... hopefully an update is comming where you can play your ipod and the music will stop for the bell and then resume playing the rest of the round.....please make this work with the ipod...unable to hear buzzer when music is playing on the phone.....thank you

A promising young app.. A much needed app in need of some improvements, but definitely worth the price as it is. The timer seems to stop once the auto lock is activated, so we'll see if there is a fix for that. Some different sounds were just added which was my number one gripe, so many thanks to the developer. This is a great app for workouts, stretches, etc. I'd love to see a variable round times option where you can set a bunch of different times for each round/rest period etc. For example: 1st round 2:00, 2nd round 4:00, 3rd 5:00 etc etc, then just loop back to the first round once it done one pass through. Either way, if you workout at all, I recommend buying this app.

Support is great. I wrote a review about the problems I was having with the app. I contacted support and they immediately responded. They are working on fixing the problem. This is still my go to app!!

Excellent App. Excellent app for anyone that wants to do interval training. Highly recommend this one.

Doesn't work on iPod touch!!. This piece of crap doesn't work on the iPod touch!!! And yes I know the iPod doesn't have an external speaker. I plugged it into my headphones and no sound came out!! PLEASE FIX IT!!!

Blah. Pain in the a** to set up personalized work out. I bought this when it was the only round timer I wish I would have waited. There are better ones for free now.

this fits my needs nicely. No bells and whistles just a nice versatile round timer.

Almost.... Maybe the feature is present and I just don't know how to use it, but in addition to counting down rounds I need something that functions as a basic stopwatch.

Sweet. Great for crossfit circuits and interval training. Cool app.

Great app!. Please add an airhorn and it will be prefect!!

The best!!. Anyone who does MMA drips needs this app! If not I will armbar you! Lol

Simply perfect!. This app rocks. It does what it is supposed to in a simple and easy to understand interface. Nicely done, guys!

Terrible. Hasn't been updated in years and keeps freezing on iOS 8. Want a refund!

321mom. Works great! Love it.

Best .99 cent I ever spent. Good for a work outs and when I'm on the reflex bag

no sound. sound doesnt work on ipod save urself the dollar and buy something better

DO NOT BUY!. They recently updated this app and now it no longer works well. The sounds disappear after a certain number of rounds and it arbitrarily saves what it wants to. Don't waste your money!

The (almost) perfect timer app!. Don't be fooled by the "almost" in my tittle... I love this app and use it almost daily for tabata training for Crossfit and interval running to train for marathons. My only request is that they add a "warning" feature to give you an indication of when a green interval is about to end, just as you can for a red interval. When I am all-out sprinting for 90 seconds, I often want to know how much longer I have to keep killing myself, and I wish there was a way to set a buzzer so I could know I was near the end, without having to look which slows me down. Other then this, it's a fantastic app! (Past reviews complained about the iPhone timer causing the screen to turn off making the app more or less useless. This seems to have been fixed -- I have kept it running for as long as a half hour while doing interval runs and the screen never shut off.) All in all, SO worth the $00.99! Thanks for a great app.

Great for kettlebell interval training. fantastic app. Lots of versatility and perfect integration with the Ipod music function.

Volume issues with iPod. Can't hear when iPod is playing, either needs to fade music while bell goes off otlr boost bell volume.

Great App. Easy to use and makes timing my heavy bag workouts very simple. Highly recommended.

Almost perfect. As a martial arts professional, I found this to be a great timer. The only thing needed is a warning bell in the rest time. Then I could give it five stars. Hopefully an update will include one.

Perfect!. Wow love this timer. Big bold and auto reset. Thank you!

Nice!. Very useful app!

Nice. I enjoy your app. Is there any chance you could update it to an iPhone 5 screen? I notice it has been a while…

Thanks for ruining an awesome app!. I updated this app after having it for two years and the update ruined it. Thanks a lot, I have deleted it!

Great for martial arts!. Awesome app for circuit training and martial arts classes. Alarms NEED to be louder when used with iPod (music) function.

Doesn't run in background -pauses instead. Can't believe the other reviews are about the same app. I've downloaded this twice and it Doesn't run in background -pauses instead - so it's useless if you want to do anything else while using the timer.
