UltraTrainer App Reviews

Needs a stopwatch with a delayed timer. Maybe with audible start and stop.

Great idea, still buggy though. Music volume control is more random than setting a random interval in the software. Sometimes it works...... Would have given 4 or 5 stars if the dev would even acknowledge an email.....

I find this app really useful, but it does need to extra options for creating and using exercise routines. Heres are a few suggestions to help make this a really great app: - include a global on/off for sounds (warnings, starting and stopping activities, etc). I find some of the included sounds way to loud, and the is no current way to mute the app sounds and still allow iPod audio to play through. - the app really, really needs to allow for repetitions of Actions, and not solely for the parent Activity. This would make setting up intervals much, much easier and intuitive. - portrait and landscape mode for the application itself, and not just the timer/training mode. - respond to emails. As myself and others have noted, there doesnt seem to be much response from the company. Ive been waiting several days for a respond regarding their free offer to upgrade to the HD version, even though their app description states to email them directly, it should take this long to get a response back. - include a color picker to set the background colors for activities and warnings.

Very nice idea, hope it will get even better. My only problem right now is that after the last update the pause is kinda broken. Update: after the recent bugfix release, pause is still broken for me: I pause timer on rest interval, then resume -- an the app crashes just as rest interval ends. Update #2: sorry, even after the latest update (which was supposed to fix exactly this) it crashes on resume just like before. Had to adjust by not using pause...

This was a very useful app until a few updates ago. Now the sound is unreliable by often not playing after 15 min or so. Why dont you just role back the updates since so many people are complaining about ultratrainer and ultratimer not working anymore. The slightly newer interface didnt add much. Update: 5.3 does fix it! Thank you. Now this app rocks.

After this last update everything seems to be working as it should. Very well actually! I would like to see bigger buttons though, as the ones that are on the app now are way to close together. As long as I dont have to pause anything I am ok. I have tried to pause the timer and hit the stop button instead. A way to lock the orientation would be a nice feature as well.

figure out why the sound kept disappearing 20 minutes into my workouts, now I know and am glad its fixed. Wondering if anyone knows an easier way to transfer a workout to a regular ipod? I have quite a few workouts that I have to transfer to my regular ipod as its less bulky to wear at the gym. Right now I have to record the workouts through an audio recording program which is very time consuming.

I have bought and tried other timers. This is the best one so far. Plays in the background while I listen to music. My only gripe would be.....I want more boxing workouts (with punches, rather than #s).

I must have gotten a bum download. It does nothing as described. Only a half-dozen workouts, most boxing/mma related. Intervals are announced with a tone but no verbal so you have to look at screen to see whats up which defeats purpose. Instructions on how to use are minimal. dont know where glowing reviews are coming from. Even if Im missing something there should be help readily available that guides you through it. dont do it.

For anyone who loves to do Tabata and high intensity circuit training, this is a great app. Love the fact that I can create my own workouts and the random action feature is next level. I do have a question. I have recorded some of my own sounds and seem to have run out of audio storage. Is there a way to delete your own recorded sounds? Thanks!

So I bought rounds and used it for a year. I believe it was made by the same company. it had its problems like, you couldnt pause just the music and it took me a really long time to program excersize routines because you couldnt mix "timer groups" like you can here. Even so it was a great value at $4 instead of an expensive physical timer for a hundred dollars or so. This app, Ultra Trainer, works way better! all other problems I had are pretty much gone. its wonderful to be able to save my own voice recordings for alarms. That way when in my work out its time to move on to say, pushups, I hear my voice say to myself "pushups" or "you have five seconds left" or whatever I want. This is great because I listen to the evening news podcast from the previous night while I work out outside in the morning at the park. The glitch: so there is this cool funtion where you can add actions inside of an interval that can be "random" or run in the order of "as listed." this way I can program it to say "run hard" for a random amount of time and "run easy" for a random amount of time, and so on. what great is that its within an interval! The glitch is that the "as listed" option in these actions doesnt work properly. For whatever reason it mixes up the order. It does so consistantly, but it doesnt do it from the top action down to the bottom action, at least not when the interval is, lets say, the the third interval. Minor glitch, but it took me 20minutes to figure out why my stretches were all mixed up. Anyway, great app, and Im looking forward to downloading and sharing some timer programs with others on the "timer exchange" community that you can access and upload/download to inside the app. Pretty great for $4!

Ive tried at least 14 timer apps. Some were confusing, some impossible. This timer is easy to customize . Create your own workouts, name your own intervals put in your own picture and music or use their presets. A while ago there was an update that created problems with their other app Ultra Timer . I contacted the developers and i shopped for another app but they resolved the issue AND upgraded my app for free to Ultra Trainer. Both timers are Great! Now thats Customer Service.

Especially love the timer exchange which has every potential canned sequence I could ever want.

Wont open the timer archive

I havent tried any of the other timers out there but I was VERY impressed with this ones functionality. Entering in the exercises is a bit of a pain, but once theyre in there customizing routines is easy. At $3 I felt I got a lot more than I paid for. Update: being able to share programs across devices via wireless connection...very cool guys, thanks. Still using this app after well-over a year. I have about 30 different fitness programs.

Ive had this app for some time now and I can honestly say they are making efforts to improve and make this app more user friendly and versatile. I am impressed!

I got this app to use for my cycling intervals on my indoor trainer. Im giving it two stars because when it works its nice and helpful, BUT........this app crashes a lot. I purchased the app because the new version said they fixed the crash. Hmmm, not really. So dont purchase until you see four to five stars. Hopefully another update will come out and it will be fixed. Oh well, my 2.99$ just bought a sitting app on my iPad.

This is the best one on the market. Weve used this for basic interval timing and complex multiphase fitness programs. Nothing comes close this app. They make it simple to setup complex sequences. We also like the easy way to share timers with other coaches - just select the timers you want to share, then email them for easy import. The only thing Id like is to see an integrated heart beat monitor feature like one of the other products has. But as a flexible, well crafted interval timer, this one is the one we always use.

Since most recent IOS update you can t add new timers or pictures or change old timers that were in place prior to update. Sent email to support but no response. Its a bummer cause I use to use this app every day.

This is a great app when it works. No longer works with iOS 6. Please fix to bring that rating back up.
