Wow, developers do read suggestions!
I dont remember too much about the old version or what it looked like. But being deaf, I couldnt hear the tones and didnt like not knowing when it was time to switch. It was also hard to see in certain light conditions. The tones meant everyone in house knew when I was trying to work out, and there goes any resemblance of a private workout. I needed a way to cut off tones and see the indicators to workout and when to rest. So I wrote off my comments to the developer and we discussed things in email. I didnt think too much of it as some of the other developers basically ignore suggestions that help deaf and hard of hearing. (Its all about the "bells and whistles" for most, quite literally.).
So I downloaded the last upgrade and really didnt have time to play with it or forgot etc but tried it for a cycle today and WOW! Im really happy!! I can barely hear some of the tones, but I could toggle through the options and land on the no tones option. The other timing sequences are a bit advanced for my health now, but the Tabata and Ascending sequences work great.
The color choices are cool too - there is a pinkish red option which works nice for night conditions and then some brighter blue and a yellow green option that works good in day conditions.
Im planning to use this app much more often. Thanks!!
