Our timer is the perfect companion for your next intensive workout. It’s the successor of our successfull tabata timer app!

We included a bunch of new features for you:
- complete rewritten version that supports the high resolution screen of your iPhone.
- You are now able to change the interval type. We provided +5 intensive interval presets for you
- three different tone sets (voice and two other options)
- choose the color, you like
- visualization of the intervals with three nice graphics designs
- the app does not sleep/lock while in use
- you are able to hear your itunes music in the background

High intensive interval training (HIIT) is one of the most effective training principle today. It combines two of best known training methods in one time-efficient way:

the first ist high-intensity training, that pushes to get a maximum effort to achieve muscle fatigue and to consume maximum oxygen in a quick burst. this is measured to one’s VO2 max, which is the highest amount of oxygen, your body consumes during exercise. Working close to your VO2 max triggers the afterburn effect, where the body continues to consume more oxygen up to 48 hours after the workout.

the second is interval training, which alternates periods of intensive effort with periodes of short breaks / low-intensity effort. This boost metabolism significantly longer than a steady workout of equal or greater length.

Pros and cons of H-I-I-T-Timer app for iPhone and iPad

H-I-I-T-Timer app good for

For a free app, it does what it needs to...no bells or whistles, but itll do the trick for timing Tabata intervals. Minor quibble: fix the spelling mistakes, like "excercise"...
So quick and simple. Looked for this on the app store and downloaded this one first....no need to look for another. I would definitely pay for a version where u can save workouts or plan which exercises it tells you to do next, etc. Great app!!
Great app, does exactly what you need. 20 secs on, 3 sec warning, 10 sec rest, repeat 8 times
Clarification to some contradicting comments in these reviews: - it DOES work with your music playing in the background, and it DOES beep over the headphones - it DOES NOT beep on the built-in speaker in the older ipod touch I have, even though my alarm clock is capable of such things All in all, simple, does what I need it to, and its free. Cant complain.
I love that it beeps over my music. I can play music and hear the tabata prompts during my workout from headphones or when playing it out loud from my dock. So convenient!
Very quick and simple. First app I saw on the app store and downloaded it. Does the job!

Some bad moments

Why did u ruined the simplicity of the app?? That timer is terrible , i want to see numbers not circles!!
You removed all the things that made your app decent. Here is a low hanging fruit for your PO: So now when I hit start, the timer starts instantly instead of the 3 second delay. In your head, you dont see the need to get into a workout position? Its instant? Right.
How card would it have been to make this more versatile ( for instance 40 seconds on 20 seconds off, or longer periods etc.) all I have now is a simple timer for 4 minutes ( 20:10 second intervals) ... I will look for something else.
Please get back the older version. Im not going to use the new one. You spoiled everything! It was my favorite timer!!
The original version was a perfect no nonsense app that was simple to use. The new version is not user friendly and over complicated a simple timer. Im working out and dont need the fancy graphics or unnecessary functions. A simple alarm that sounds at 10 and 20 secs is all I need.
Its simple, as it should be, and works great. Easy way to fit in a tabata set anywhere. Would love it to work on my iwatch. Help a girl out and make it happen please!!!
