Pacer Fitness - Interval Timer App Reviews

Much needed app

Always wondered why there wasnt a good, simple timer app. Here it is, all I wanted and in a beautiful package to boot.

Love this thing

This app is great, it provides needed structure when working out. It is great for setting specific rest times, so you dont get distracted and only focus on the work out. For an app in its early stage it is great, but will hopefully provide new features like the ability to control you music in the app. So far it is great.

Review

I like this for interval training. Its been a bit annoying however that it keeps demanding a rating and will stop the pacer without warning.

Excellent UI

Excellent use of the advantages of a touch screen interface rather than mimicking a mechanical timer.

Very Useful

Very Good For Sports Use Thanks!

Simple but effective!

If you are looking for an app that doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles then this is for you. It does just enough to make it a great tool. Sometimes simple is better. Thanks for a great app.

Works like it should.

This app is what the description said it is. But the timer max setting is 10 minutes. Wish I can put it to as long as I want it to be.

Great App.

I love this app because there are no bugs.

Major Flaw: Must Remain Open

The app is beautiful and simple to use. However, every time I have locked my phone while using it, the timer is canceled. Half the time when I switch between apps the timer is canceled. Makes its useless for running and troublesome for using alongside my ebook workout guide or pandora. Without multitasking it works wonderful but is very easy to miss the one beep that signals the interval. Keeping the app in hopes it only needs a simple fix.

Cannot combine timers

I workout to beach body videos with timers for warmups, circuits and cool downs. I want to start creating my own workouts, but want to keep the tempo style I am used too. I thought this app would allow that, but I do not see how because you can set a warmup time, but then thats it. You would have to stop your workout and then create another timer with work & breaks for the actual workout then yet another for cool down (iOS 8 hides most of my view while writing this so typos are because of that).

Doesnt work. At all.

My phone would lock during my workout and the app would close. Without any memory of the interval I was just doing. If I could give 0 stars I would. AVOID THIS APP IT DOES NOT WORK.

Perfect!

Awesome for interval training

Useful For Many Needs

I use this app for any type of time based control environment. Whether it is interval training while I run or prodomore timer while I am studying, this very adaptive and easy to use app brings simple productivity to my day.

Useless app

This is my third time trying to write this review because the nickname was already taken but it feels like the app is just trying to prevent me from writing a bad review. Anyways, this app is pretty useless. Im using the interval timer because Im trying to build up to running by running a bit then walking a bit, repeat. But this app will randomly stop counting down from the time I set and have the timer count down from a much higher time. Its as if its paused itself and counting down to starting again or waiting to see if Im still using it. Im not sure, but it completely throws off what Im trying to do! I think it might happen when the phone locks, but I cant be sure because Im trying to work out, not pay attention to my phone! I dont think its when I switch to another app, because I switch to an app that tracks distance, pace, etc almost immediately and the pacer still seems to work for a little bit. Whatever causes it though makes the app pretty useless. If I wanted to have to fiddle with my phone in the middle of the workout, Id use the built in timers! Theyd be about as helpful.

Rating

I used to love this app but ever since it was updated I HATE IT! Please change the workout history to a daily total instead of combining them into one complete workout. How can I track my progress if I cant see a daily completion time. Please please fix this!!!!!

Great app!

Helpful for working out, but please make the workouts daily instead of combining to one overall total

Great App

Very simple to use for interval workouts!

Great, but one minor issue

This app is easy to use for my circuit training workouts and I like the calm sounds and blue color. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is that the timer will often stop when I switch to another app (to skip a song on iTunes for example) even if I dont close Pacer.

Almost perfect!

Love the ability to set warm up time work time and rest time and number of intervals. If you could add the ability to include the number of rounds it would be perfect. I do circuit training with multiple timed stations in a set and do 4-6 rounds with 4-6 stations per round. So the timer only provides me the ability to program a single round. I take a 1 minute break between rounds and then restart for the next round. Aside from that it is just what I was looking for

Cant purchase

I guess they dont want my 99 cents. Cant purchase to remove ads
