★★★★ Ashleigh Lopez-Vega 11/1/2022 v2.0.3
App crashes multiple times within a single workout. Hopeless!
★★★★ Kaitlyn 9/23/2022 v2.0.3
shittiest workout timer... seriously fed up with how poorly designed this app is. you have to leave the app to see what workout you're doing next, & when you do it pauses the timer. next thing you know you're like, "why the hell is this minute lasting so long???" & if you accidentally hit the back-button, or your dog manages to somehow, you can't just fast forward to the exercise/set/superset you left off on, you have to start the timer over again & wait for it to catch up
★★★★ Ella Harvey 3/27/2022 v2.0.3
I am about to start my workout as i have downloaded the timer which i paid for and it won't work for me 😪
★★★★ Renee Jansen 7/5/2021 v2.0.1
There is no sound!
★★★★ suedey t 7/4/2021 v2.0.1

★★★★ Amelia Monteleone 6/24/2020
It crashes in the middle of the workout every time I used it. Not worth paying for. There are free interval timers that work SOOO much better. Sorry but I wouldnt spend my money on it
★★★★ Christen Gardner 5/9/2020 v1.3
This app doesn't work properly. It stops and it doesn't have voice you never know when to start again.
★★★★ A Google user 4/25/2020 v1.3
Glitches and the audio stops 5 minutes into toning power :(
★★★★ A Google user 4/3/2020 v1.3
Really gutted. Voice stops after you pause it... Could have continued using my free one to be honest.
★★★★ A Google user 3/30/2020 v1.3
Love the idea but time COUNTS TOO QUICK AND GLITCHES Really wanted this to be good but the timer counts twice as fast on some setsso you only get half the workout and on specific sets the voice doesn't work so doesn't tell you to start or stop.
★★★★ A Google user 1/20/2020 v1.3
Continues to cut out halfway through my workout. Really annoying that I can't skip to where I was at.
★★★★ A Google user 1/12/2020
Not very easy to use with pdf, sometimes it lasted longer than the 30 seconds expected and if you had to check it would sometimes be off, then resetting it meant starting again with no way of jumping to the exercise you were on
★★★★ A Google user 1/9/2020 v1.3
Not worth the money! It's a very basic timer app with quite some issues. You can pause the timer but the voice will still going and won't be paused. There's no time between exercises to even just switch to the next one, e.g. from crunch to plank, the timer counts down 1 minute and straight goes into counting down the next without any time to switch hence the plank can't be 1 full minute. Really thought it would also tell you the exercise not just exercise 1/2/3 etc. Which is not helpful.
★★★★ A Google user 7/25/2019 v1.2
Sarahs voice disappears after the second round of the first exercise on all workouts :/ kind of defeats the purpose of buying an app so I dont have to watch the clock through my whole workout
★★★★ A Google user 6/17/2019 v1.2
downloaded this yesterday and the voice over doesn't work consistently throughout the work out. Very annoying please fix!! I like Sezzy and would like to support her but the app needs to work
★★★★★ Rebecca Cope 10/14/2025 v3.0.1
really good app, except it randomly will pause in the middle of the exercise. really annoying
★★★★★ Darien James 7/4/2021 v2.0.1
The app crashes on me after 3rd exercise on sweaty shredder, what do I do?
★★★★★ Rudy and Sunshine 1/23/2021 v2.0.1
Would be an awesome app, except it keeps glitching and the timer is out.
★★★★★ Kaitlin Brown 8/11/2020 v2.0.1
Really easy to use and convenient but crashes constantly and there's no way to start back in a specific exercise/round. Really frustrating. Had to restart it like four times in this past workout.
★★★★★ Kat N 6/3/2020 v2.0.1
Voice overs still not working after update in may 2020.
★★★★★ Megan Garner 5/15/2020
My 10min blaster doesn't work, just cuts out and closes the app! How can I fix this please? The other timers work fine.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/27/2020 v1.3
I love the concept but just wish it would work without glitching. It doesnt consistently give cues and you have to hold it in front of you to watch the clock. Makes it harder to workout
★★★★★ A Google user 4/7/2020 v1.3
After 3 exercises the voice stops, and the timer itself is glitchy, meaning sometimes 30seconds are actually 15, or on the other hand 60... Not worth.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/4/2020 v1.3
Great idea but the timer is faulty. Halfway through my workout it no longer announced rest/exercise times and would start and stop randomly.
★★★★★ A Google user 3/3/2020 v1.3
Cool idea but as soon as my screen closes then the timer stops working and I have to start over. Really frustrating when 7ou are halfway through a workout
★★★★★ A Google user 1/8/2020 v1.3
Timer stops talking after 3 excercise intervals. Have to monitor timer because cues stop
★★★★★ A Google user 6/2/2019 v1.2
At round 5 I noticed some of the voice guides missing and by round 6 and 7 there are points where the voice doesn't tell you when the rest period began or ended, nor counting down. Considering I paid money for this it is disappointing that simple voice elements are missing which could have been fixed with a simple proof checking of the app...
★★★★★ A Google user 5/25/2019 v1.2
After 4th round at first exercise Sarah's voice disappears.. so discouraging paying again for the new version of the app and the story is repeating. :/
★★★★★ A Google user 4/1/2019 v1.1
App crashes after around two rounds and then you can't resume from where you were. Little bit frustrating.
★★★★★ A Google user 3/27/2019 v1.1
great for customisation, but crashed every time I try to use it. Very frustrating :(
