This is exactly what I was looking for in a workout app for a while! It allows me to create an exercise routine with both timed and rep exercises in the same sequence! It's visually appealing and simple to use and set up. I like that I can have my own images to personalize each workout and to remind me of an exercise that's new to me. And it's great that it has the voice control option!

works great
I've used this app for about a year. reported a bug in the beginning and developer promptly fixed it. I use it for my stretching routine at home after my circuit at the gym. I set it up so I have time to move through each stretch and I just let it talk me through. I wouldn't want to do without it now. It's not absolutely perfect but still 5 stars.
nnnnnnnada,
This is to the developer

It says u have to develop it on the new updated ios 😫

Will not store information on iCloud
This used to be one of my favorite apps when I had my iPhone 5S. When I got my iPhone six all of my workouts were not accessible because the iCloud tab became unaccessible even though iCloud is enabled on my phone and all my other apps are able to communicate with icloud just fine. Now this app only allows for me to store workouts locally. I tried to contact the developer multiple times however I have been completely ignored. Very disappointing.
3StrikesYoureOut,
Does not save your workouts
The app does not work with wireless Bluetooth headphones. The app does not save the workouts you build. I entered the same bike workout into the app three times and each time when I came back to try and use it again it was gone. The app is simply not worth it. You're better off using the timer that comes with your phone.
Bacon artist,
Best workout timer!
Love the app. Easy to create the workouts. And I love that you don't have to click on anything to switch exercises. Can be voice controlled!!!!! Love it

PLEASE UPDATE
Why hasn’t this app been updated?
Calisha Yates,
Good app but needs improvement
I gave this app 2 stars because the voice over doesn't work with my wireless headphones but if I plug in wired headphones it works fine.
