Update Glitches
After I got the update, the app has been having all kinds of glitches . The most common glitch I have been noticing is that it just skips breaks and jumps to different parts of the timer.
Disappointed
This app is just a timer so if you purchase Sarah’s ebook you have to go back and forth from the ebook to the timer to see what exercise is next. Thought the app would tell you what exercise is
next to make it more convenient.

Timer sporadically stops
The app is essentially a glorified timer, so would expect it to not stop sporadically when in use...
Timing is off/stops timing randomly
Can’t believe I paid for this. What a ripoff with the free timers out their. Updating my review because it’s so disappointing they haven’t updated it or responded to any of our issues at all. I love the idea of the app, particularly the custom timer but the time is off. For 30 seconds comes out 35 or 36 seconds. The longer the time the more off it is. Also it just randomly stops timing and I’m not sure what the pattern of when/why? These honestly seem like relatively simple fixes so I hope this can get fixed and it’s a great app.
Frustrating
I love Sarah, but this app is so frustrating.
The set timers for her ebook workouts are easy and great. The biggest frustration there is that if you accidentally slide the screen or tap back you cant go back, you have to start the timer all over. Reaaallly annoying when you’re deep in a workout.
My biggest gripe is the custom timer. For reference i have the pregnancy ebook (along with others) but one of the workouts she suggests using the custom timer bc the timing is really specific. But setting up the timer is so confusing. There are no instructions, just all these sliders with 1-10 or 1-5, labeled “circuits” “rounds” “workouts”. Honestly i cannot figure out which controls which and after resetting it wrong like 5 times its just so annoying. Could use a lot more work to make it user friendly and not so frustrating to use.

App crashes
This is so nice for the workout in the ebook, but the app crashes in the middle of working out almost every time I use it.
really not the best
really confusing to set up a custom timer. doesn’t ever explain what each preset timer means or how long the workout is. which when just quick glancing to do your own workout you really want to know
not well designed. voice is intolerable and doesn’t make any sense half the time
not well designed. voice is intolerable and doesn’t make any sense half the time
Great concept, too many glitches.
The time isn't a proper 30 seconds, it's like a standard 40.. not a biggie but the timer will randomly stop going during the workouts. In the middle of a hard set of sweaty shredder, and the timer stops and there's no way to get back to where I was. Way to kill a workout (not in a good way 😂) love sarah + the concept of this app, but too many glitches and no option to get back to where you left off :(
Love Sarah but COME ON
Please update this timer. We’ve bought it twice, and it’s buggier than ever. Randomly stops, doesn’t work with music on, and no way to skip or go back between sets. So frustrating to be sweating through a circuit only to find out...oh, my timer just stopped for no reason. If anyone would know how important a timer is for interval training is, it would be sezzy! Please update this!
No way to skip when accidentally hit back
In the middle of a workout I accidentally hit the back button and it took me back to the app home screen and I had to restart my timer and wait for the round and superset I was on. Really aggravating!!!
Good...when it works
Great when it’s actually working, but tends to freeze or close out at random in the middle of a workout and there doesn’t really seem to be any bug updates or improvements ever.
Having trouble
I love the idea of this app, mainly because I like timing my exercises and my breaks and have something to remind me it’s time to go and how much time is left. However, for some reason, the timer keeps stopping in the middle of my exercises. So if it is a 30s round, it stops at 20s and I have to come back to the app to make it keep going. It is not a major issue, but I wish I didnt have to worry about it because I have to break my momentum to check what is going on.
