Interval Timer: Run & HIIT Hack 2.2.3 + Redeem Codes

This app is easy to use and works well. But most options require $2 upgrade. The free version gets you about 10 minutes of run time (although you can quickly start a new cycle) and limited time ranges for walk/run.

Where do I start? I purchased this to do some running intervals with. Runners beware. This is not the app for that. I immediately had to purchase the full version for intervals 2+ minutes in length. I ended up setting a couple of run/walk sets totaling 10 minutes and was doing an out and back style run. The prompts do not sound if your phone is on locked screen. Who runs with their phone in hand and screen on? I put mine in a carrier so I can’t continue to take it out and check the time. I missed the first interval by over 4 minutes because I never got a prompt. Then I realized my phone is on silent. In other running apps, you can silence your phone so that you only hear your music and your run prompts (MapMyRun, Nike Running Club, etc.). This app does not do that. When my sound was on, I STILL didn’t get any prompts and didn’t know when my last interval ended. Again, because you have to have your phone screen on 100% of your workout to see them. Runners, don’t waste your money or time. Go pro on one of the better known apps for run training. I wish I could get my money back.

I’ve been trying Couch to 5k type apps for a while and for one reason or another there were things I did t like about it. Either you couldn’t customize it exactly how you wanted it, or there would be an issue with it working with Apple Music, and on and on. Then I found Interval Run. You can customize it how you want. Also, it works perfect with Apple Music by that I mean you launch Apple Music and it plays, you launch Interval Run and it still plays. And most important, for me anyway, when the voices come in to tell you to run, walk, etc, the music fades down, you can actually hear the Interval app voices, then the music cranks back up. Absolutely no issues. Love it. So now I can set my Apple Watch running workout, start my Apple Music playlist, then start Interval Run and I’m off.

Not the first 99 cents I’ve wasted and won’t be the last, but the many reviews I didn’t read before buying are correct: the voice controls do not work if the app is not open and active. You cannot, say, set an interval and then put your phone in your pocket while you listen to music or podcasts and have the voice interrupt and tell you when to stop running or walking. This app is basically useless unless you are running on a treadmill with your phone sitting in front of you to see the banner notifications, or with the app open to hear the voice (and you must have a tons of battery life, of course...)

Perfect for what I needed. Most reviews are old and they have fixed what folks were complaining about. I did have to purchase the $1.99 upgrade to get more than 10 minutes of running time, but that’s common so I didn’t mind spending it. Very straightforward and so simple to use. Super happy with this app no complaints so far!!

I get that this is a simple timer, but it is way too simple to pay money for... if I’m going to have to pay for an app, I would expect to be able to set more than one timer or be able to save timers depending on the workout I’m doing. And this has no audible to go with the buzzing of the time. So, if you’re running and listening to music, this timer does not buzz into your headphones to let you know the next interval is starting: you have to be able to feel the vibration or you won’t know where you are in the sequence. There are better apps to pay for and get more for your money.

Wish I had read the reviews before I paid for the app. It’s exactly what I want as far as setting intervals. However, it only notifies you of the intervals if your screen is open... that is not convenient, in the least, when you are trying to run. Also, it does not communicate with the Apple Watch. Most apps will have a function where it plays a noise and/or vibrates your watch when it’s time to change intervals. Fix these small things and I would give this 5 stars.

Great app, simple and easy to set up and use but the prompts need to be louder or different options. The voice is very muted and monotone, I had to really listen for it while I was also listening to a podcast and missed it once. I’m not sure I could hear it if listening to music. Love the functionality though!

When I turn my screen off (while listening to Bluetooth earbuds) to put my phone in my pocket while I run, the verbal cues do not work. I ended up having to carry my phone in my hand with the screen on. Otherwise the app is great, simple and easy to use. Mostly does what I was looking for.

The first time I used the app, it alerted my watch. There has been a recent update and the app no longer connects to my watch. Can you look into this, please? I loved the app, but only got a chance to use it once before the update.
