- Description -
UltraTimer is the original fully-programmable and customizable interval timer in the AppStore. As a result, it is the most refined and feature-rich interval timer today!
UltraTimer is an easy and convenient way of timing any activity or series of activities. You can set a single timer or multiple timers, each including series of count-down intervals that run back-to-back. Each interval can be customized to play a different alarm sound from the included library, as well as change the background color for visual feedback.
It is easy to set up intervals for any activity: training (martial arts, boxing, mma, circuit training, interval training, Crossfit, HIIT / HIT, yoga, meditation, exercise, workout, cycling, running, etc), time management for switching between multiple projects, or anything else you can think of.
For a complete workout, you can set up a Timer Group which will play individual timers back to back. Start out with your favorite Warm Up timer, then run through your favorite Training timer, and end with a Stretching timer. UltraTrainer will run you through your full workout automatically.
The included sound library comes with a wide variety of reminder sounds suitable for relaxing timers, high intensity activities, and everything in between. Custom sounds can also be recorded via the microphone; you are not limited to the included sound library.
Exclusive to our products, users can browse the Timer Exchange, a community where people freely exchange timers. Search, browse, and download timers that other users have uploaded. If you want, you can upload your own timers to share with others.
If a friend also owns UltraTimer, you can exchange timers via e-mail or the clipboard to use other methods.
Using UltraTimer with music playing is not a problem. You can begin playing music on the timer screen, pause it, or skip to the next track.
Just a few features in UltraTimer:
- Timer Exchange community
- Runs in the background
- Copy/Paste Intervals and Actions
- Delayed start time
- Over 70 included sounds
- Record your own sounds
- Large countdown timer display
- iPod music playback control lets you pause/play the current track or move to the next track from the countdown timer screen
- Pause the timer to temporarily halt the activity
- Timer state is saved if it is interrupted
- Still runs if screen is locked
- Intuitive setup

UltraTimer App Comments & Reviews
UltraTimer Positive Reviews
Very Useful.. but needs some improvementsUltra timer has been very useful for my music practice and Yoga. I can set the sub-timers and works awesome. However I noticed that it requires a few improvements. 1. The iphone screen is ALWAYS ON as long as the ultratimer is running. This can drain the battery life. For example, if one were to use the "default" Ergonomic timer for 8 hrs, the battery would probably have gone dead long before the expiry of 8 hrs.... My suggestion is to shut off the screen after 1 min or so (ie follow the default behaviour of iphone settings) but light up at the end of every interval. 2. It would be very useful to have restartability for every interval instead of the entire program. To illustrate this, assume you have created a "profile" called "Yoga" which has 5 timers of varying durations. It would be nice to have the facility to stop timer 1 before expiry and move on to timer 2 OR stop timer 1 before it expires, skip timer 2 and move on to timer 3. This would make this timer very flexible. 3. I also noticed one potential weakness of this app. While the timer was running, I received a phone call on my iphone. After completed the call, I noticed that the ultratimer had stopped. I would have liked the ultratimer to either be running or paused. That way if I tap on the ultratimer, it will continue from the prev state. Other than the above this timer is awesome..Version: 0
Still the best workout timerUltraTimer is still usable even on my iPhone13ProMax. The old timers I created don’t expand to the new screen size but the new timers I create fill the screen. I will it would be upgraded, but as long as it works, I am still happy with it. By the way, you can even make very complex timers for cooking..Version: 7.5
Thanks for the update!Reduced from 5 to 3 stars. Needs to be updated layout not functioning on my iPhone 6+ I’ve used this timer for a fairly long time now. I really appreciate its flexibility and the variety of times included. It wasn’t formatting well and hadn’t been updated for a while. I am grateful that it is back in play. Thanks! I works great again..Version: 7.5
Best workout partner ever!!I love this app so much. I just plug in my headphones and hit the gym. My trainer gave me exercises on this when I first started with him, but now I add my own. Please don’t ever stop updating this!!! I’d be lost without this!.Version: 7.3.1
I figured it out. Good appI did figure it out and works quite well for what I needed. It took a a minute for me to get it but I like it now..Version: 7.5
Best fitness appBeen using this app for years, does exactly what you need it to, perfect for customizing any workout.Version: 7.5
4 3/4 Stars one thing missingI so wanted to give this 5 stars, but it is missing on thing for me..... a countdown timmer to the stat of a routine. It would be awesome if there was a countdown timer that could be set so that you had time to get into position for the start of your routine. For example there is a routine I am starting that uses Tabata intervals; the first excersise in jump rope. By the time that I start the timer and get the jump rope in position to start jumping the first 20 seconds is just about over. I would live to be able to set the initial countdown timer so that i had a few seconds to get into position fior my first excersise..Version: 0
Really needs a way to select what part of an interval to repeat!Well this app has everything I suggested way back for the round timer. BUT i totally agree with the other reviewer it does need a copy paste type feature. As an example to do burpees I start with 40 seconds of burpees and 20 seconds rest but every 5 minutes 1 minute rest. So can set up one intervall clone it 4 times and change the end timer, then I can repeat this whole thing 3 times and that gets me my first 15 minutes. BUT the next 7 minutes I do 30 seconds on 30 seconds off, and the last 7 minutes I do 20 seconds on 40 seconds off. Since you can't repeat only Part of the loop I actually had to make 3 separate timers. First stage, second stage, third stage burpees. It would be nicer if you could check off intervals and then say to repeat the checked ones x times or x minutes and they would automatically add to the end of the list. If you could do this you could say make 40 seconds on 20 seconds off check them both and say repeat 14 times. then make a 30 seconds on 30 seconds on and check just those two off then say repeat 6 times then make just a 20 seconds on 40 seconds off check just those 2 and say repeat 6 times. and Violla 1 timer made with only 3 entries instead of needing three different timers or spending and hour manually entering each interval by hand after the first loop..Version: 0
Perfect for CrossFit!I was about to do the CrossFit Endurance WOD today and then thought that I had better check iTunes for an app of some kind that would make it easier for me to be made aware of my intervals (you know, instead of looking down at my watch every half second). The WOD today is a 5-30 sec pathways WOD and it would be a huge pain to look down at my watch for this. This app is perfect, simple, yet effective. It comes with 4 prepared timers, one of which (the most important in my opinion) is a tabata timer. You can easily program your own timers too, as is the case w/the 5-30 WOD. What's great is that if you are doing your workouts in an atmosphere that makes it difficult to hear your alarms, you can set colors to them for a visual cue. All in all, I am extremely pleased w/this app! Now, time to hit that WOD! 3, 2, 1, GO!!!!.Version: 0
Great app!Fantastic App! Does exactly what I need it todo. This is way more configurable than the others I've seen. Imho, this beats the others - no question. For those hunting around for an app that you can configure to your needs, rather than adapting to someone else's workout schedule- start looking at this app first. I wish I had. A couple suggestions: 1) Give an option to start a specified iPod playlist with each timer or interval, or just continue with the currently playing playlist, or no music. I like to randomize the songs to avoid monotony, but my warmup music isn't what I want for my training music. This will allow for quiet time during break intervals too. 2) Choose interval warning sounds from iPod songs so I can make/import my own clean mp3's and use them for transition sounds. 3) The fade out/pause music doesn't seem to work very well for me, so it's hard to tell if you support fade out when using Pandora as well. Maybe that needs a second look. Anyway, these are my top three sugguestions. This is a great app already- I'm looking forward to what you have planned for the future. Well done!.Version: 5.3
Well done!I have been looking for multi-event interval timer application and this one fit my demands quite well. First, the app allows you to record your own sounds. So, I was able to replay my Gymboss timer's sounds and record them. Second, I was able to copy and paste events easily and create my workout's various circuits very quickly. This means that my various circuits were exactly timed even though each circuit has many events with varied lengths and and rest periods. Now, I know exactly how long a workout will take me to complete it. I wish it'd allow the user to create a list of timers and play them in a sequence..Version: 0
Great app!This worked great today with my CrossFit workout. There were two of us and thanks to this app, we didn't have to go in heats (so one of us could keep time) or try to see a stopwatch with sweat running in our eyes. I set up a custom Tabata timer because I didn't care for the one that came with the app. I set up a 10 second rest interval, and a 20 second work interval. Buzzer means stop, boxing bell means go, and tones for 3 second warnings. The different sounds meant there was no confusion on when to stop and go. I can't wait to try setting up other CrossFit timers! Well worth the price!.Version: 0
Very Useful AppI have been using this app for about a week now. I was using their Interval timer app, but this new one works for me so much better. I have been doing the Couch to 5k training program, and thanks to this app I no longer have to cut times off to fit the training regimen into only 3 timers. The only problem I have been having is the program crashes every now and then while setting up the timers. But it has never crashed while running. Thanks!.Version: 0
Great App--Works as AdvertisedIn searching for a good, programable interval timer, I downloaded (and paid for!) a couple of so-so apps before I came across this one, which absolutely blows the others out of the water. It's completely programable, intuitive and--unlike the others I came across--provides real support and instructions. Creating and editing sessions is a breeze, and the interface is clean and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Seriously, drop the $1.99, program it to do what you want, and get down to business..Version: 5.3
Great for irregular interval trainingA very intuitive program that is really going to aid my workouts. The program needs a copy and paste feature for repeating a single interval without repeating the whole workout. It took me over 40 mins to program a full (1 hour) workout routine with breaks and irregular intervals. I program in all of my warm up, workout, and stretching exercises including the rest in between sets. The UltraTimer also crashed quite a few times while I was setting it up. With an update, this will be a great help for me in the gym and by far the best timer app! Great update!! Now I will give it 5 stars. Great job with the copy/paste!.Version: 0
Rave Review - Long OverdueI have nothing but praise for the application and the support provided. Everything I have asked for and more has been added or corrected. My current workout program (RMAX Tacfit) cycles through various timing scenarios and this timer fits the bill perfectly. I added an external speaker to allow a group to workout together. So my next request is to be able to select various warning points (midpoint, 10 sec remaining, etc) within an interval. Thanks for a great product. May be the best $2 I ever spent..Version: 5.3
Limitless customization!Wow this is one awesome, versatile timer! I was looking for a more flexible interval timer, which is what this is but WAY more. I really like that you can program in voice commands (such as in the Fight Gone Bad example workout) so that you don’t have to remember your workout sequence or look at the iPod or whatever to see the sequence. The sample timers are excellent and have given me ideas to program in additional ones. Easy to program & use!.Version: 0
Works as advertisedAwesome program... one of the reasons I got an iphone. Timers are easy to set up and use. Works well for a number of purposes including at the gym, work or around the house. Works well with ipod and I have found no glitches. Cannot easily use with other apps like a fitness trackers but that is Apple’s fault. Wish there were a few more alarm options but, this does not detract from the product I am just picky about sounds..Version: 0
Getting closeNewest upgrade addresses just about everything. Still wish I could adjust volume of sounds via a via iPod music. Also wish it had a sliding start button, so you don't turn it off by accident while working out. Would be nice to be able to fast forward and reverse through intervals so you can start in the middle of sequence, if you do accidentally turn it off..Version: 0
Pretty Good, but needs a little workUr last update bumped my review up 2 stars, but one thing that bugs me is when the timer is running, the graphics are really bad. Not a big deal, but it'd b nice to see improvement, also we need more sounds (sounds that are good during excercising). Finally, it'd be really cool to have it so that a timer doesn't run, it just beeps for half a second and then the next timer starts running. So when running in place a hear a beep, I jump up and get back up and then the run counter starts again.Version: 0
Does Everything for a Fitness InstructorDoes everything that I wanted. I set up a 3-2-1 course. It starts with a 5 minute warmup, followed by 8 intervals of 3mins, 2mins and 1mins and then ends with a 5 minute cooldown. It took me less than five minutes to figure out all the features and get the whole timer set up. Excellent app that I would recommend to anyone looking for a timer flexible enough to handle whatever is needed..Version: 0
Perfect for stretchingBetter than expected. Got it set up in 5 minutes. Use it for timing yoga stretches with a few secs in between to get into next position. Favorite features: variety of volume-adjustable subtle sounds, portrait / landscape display, keeps screen illuminated during countdown, auto pause with incoming calls. Finally, I do not have to reset a timer after every stretch!.Version: 0
Why does the sound stop workingThis app is awesome and totally worth the price. However, why does the sound stop working after a while. Its really annoying when your relying on the sound to tell you to stop or start. Awesome app but please fix this problem and I can give it 5 stars..Version: 5.2
Just love it!This is one of my most used apps on the iPhone. I use it for my kettlebell workouts, and am more than pleased! A very good product, and well worth it. It has been updated a couple times since I purchased the app, and I have not had a single problem with any updates. It just keeps getting better and better..Version: 0
Powerful and flexible interval timer.I find this one of the most-used apps I have. It comes with useful presets of workouts, but it's real power is realized when you customize it to meet what you want to do at the gym. There have been some snags over its upgrade cycle, but it's kept its top spot for me when it comes to workout apps..Version: 0
Don't blame the toolI've been using ultratimer for 2 months now. HIIT is a breeze. It has never crashed because I update everything properly. The crashing is due to people overloading their iPhones. Also I've never lost any data. Great app. Wish I could download intervals but other than that it's the best app for interval training..Version: 0
Very GoodI love how you can have music play in the background and when an alarm plays the music gets quiet so you can hear the alarm. Also love the ability to add your own sounds for alerts. GREAT program for $1.99. Only wish I could play it on an iPod and save my phone's battery..Version: 0
Love the new version!I've been using this for cardio interval workouts for a few months. The new version lets you pause on the screen--very handy. I also like the LARGE numbers counting down on the screen now-- no looking for reading glasses to see how much time is left..Version: 0
Awesome!Exactly what I have been looking for! I have been using the regular stopwatch on my iphone for my tabata training but recently it just hasn't seemed to be good enough in that it doesn't beep every 20 and 10 seconds. But thankfully you guys made this program! Awesome stuff!.Version: 0
Almost there...This is a really nice app with a lot of thought and features. It fits my needs to a "t". I would gladly give it 5 stars (or more) if the darn thing didn't crash so much when I am trying to set up a new series. I hope that the developer can figure out what it causing this problem..Version: 0
Audio volume ducks and doesn't resumeA problem has recently developed wherein the application ducks the music volume for the ending sound of a set, but does not bring it back up to normal after the sound. I have to shut the app down to get normal volume again..Version: 5.3
Needs update fix.....and they did it!It's fixed and back to a fantastic app, thanks for checking the reviews and following up developers ......issue that's fixed was.......Was a great app. Can't create a group timer with new update. Wait till they fix it......It's fixed as of May 12.Version: 5.5.1
New version works great - an essential app for meI've used UltraTimer since it first came out and love it even though I prefer some of the older versions with easier volumn adjustments and fewer sounds to choose from. Thanks for all the updates and a great product..Version: 5.3
UltraTimerThis timer is exactly what I need for interval training on the treadmill. I gave it 4 start instead of 5 because, as others have noted, it crashed *a lot* during set up. Not really a big problem, just annoying. Otherwise, it is great and well worth the $1.99 for my purposes..Version: 0
Nice App!!!I just bought this and used the Tabata setting. Having Tabata preeloaded was nice and the fact that it works with your music was nice too. Just play your music first, hit the square button, turn the app on and pick your interval!!! I'm pretty happy with it..Version: 0
The Perfect TimerThis is a fantastic timer! I am a trainer & Crossfit Certified & this is a MUST have for anyone doing the same. I always recommend it to my clients! App creator(s) are great making updates for it. Thanks to them, you make my life a bit easier .Version: 0
It's not badI like the app. I'd give it 5 stars, however not being able to create your own categories is miss and it's pretty fustrating when your sounds stop working, especially when your in a plank and not looking at the screen. Overall, it's not bad..Version: 0
Finally!Tried 4 other timers for tabata and all had serious flaws or omissions. This one does everything I wanted and then some. Tip: titling the rest segments with the name of the next excersize allows for slick custom workouts..Version: 0
Perfect!Perfect, exactly what I needed. Simple and easy to set up. I like the choices of sound effects and the different color background for different intervels..Version: 0
How can you disable full screen pause?Can we have an option to disable full screen pause? Its annoying that we cant disable this because the screen can easily be touched during the routine. Please plan on putting this in the next release. Thanks..Version: 0
Sound issuesSince the ios 9 update, i have problems with the sound. When i use a single interval, the ending sound is not playing. I checked the sound level of my phone and it's ok. Please check this bug !!!.Version: 7.1
Perfect timerThis makes it easy to have interval training with repeated intervals or very complex list of intervals. The alarms are audible over music and the choices of colors and picture backgrounds are very helpful. I love the spoken alarms! All in all, everything one needs in a timer, even a delay function!!!.Version: 0
Current version DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL BUGS mentioned in reviewsStill crashes...was working fine until I tried to expand my 80ish interval lonf workout into interval sets above 90 or 100 intervals in length and now I can no longer use the app...I try to type the exercise name and the screen goes screwy...also goes screwy for setting sound to start interval...was fine before...now is unusable...please fix...I cant even restart a new timer from scratch now...seems permanently screwed up with the 2 above mentioned issues. 3 stars for how good it was... Minus the 2 stars for not being able to work longer than a day..Version: 5.5.2
Great Running AppThis is a great app for interval running..Version: 5.5.2
Music FreezeBest timer App concept , easy to set up, BUT music freezes during intervals . Not cool when your in the middle of teaching a fitness class and your well planned music freezes..Version: 0
Great appI just used it once, works great. I programed a few timers, very easy to use. It's got all the option I need.Version: 5.3
Absolutely Fantastic... Love ItI only bought this App today and it's fantastic! My kids and I wanted to increase our Suppleness so at the moment we've primarily used it for a stretch routine, and it's Great, as I've set up a transition time between each exercise and used the count down as a leg or arm swap. If you want to programme your workout, and not look at a scrap of paper and can't remember what you're going to do next or not Cheat, then this is so amazing, I think I'm now going to programme a routine for me. I also like how you can add your "timers" together, so you can mix and match your workouts, Super!.Version: 5.3
My favorite work out app!Hands down the best for doing at home cardio circuits!.Version: 5.0
Great.Great product. It would be handy to have a built in "pause" or break you could add without having to make an interval but that's minor..Version: 0
The Best TimerWith the ability of making you own timers and your own programs makes this the best timer ever. Real timers cost over $150 - $300.Version: 0
Ultra Timer - Solid PerformerThis program works exactly as described. Good updates. Workout with visual or audio cues. Use installed sounds or record your own. Setup your program, Start UT, lock the screen and get busy. No cheating with this program, it helps keep your comlpiance in check. Work hard. Hope this helps. I use it almost everyday..Version: 0
