Description

HIIT, Tabata, Pyramids - do them all your way in PyramidTimer - 100% customisable, elegant and intuitive exercise timer and heart rate tracker.

TIMER CUSTOMISATION
You choose:
◦ Number of sets
◦ Number of reps
◦ Interval length
◦ Amount of rest (automatic / manual options)
◦ Interval profile (longest first, shortest first, longest in the middle or all the same length)

HEART RATE
Beautiful real-time heart rate plotting:
◦ Add heart rate tracking using a bluetooth monitor
◦ See current heart rate, as well as min and max rates for the whole session
◦ Heart rate history plots against intervals as your timer runs
◦ Create a HIIT profile to easily work out your max HR

NOT JUST A TIMER
Distance too!
◦ As well as timed active intervals, PyramidTimer gives supports distance-based intervals too
◦ Train those 400m intervals anywhere, or 1000m, or 400-300-200, or... well you get the idea!
◦ Rest timer begins automatically as soon as you've completed the interval distance
◦ Rest time is fully customisable - you choose either fix a duration or choose an automatic amount relative to interval distance (the proportion is customisable)
◦ Combined with heart rate tracking you can easily work out your max HR using 8x20s sprints

◦ Helper information available for every setting - you can't go wrong
◦ Visual representation of your session updates in real-time as you set it up - no guess work or nasty surprises, you know exactly what your timer will be

Buyer Beware!

The features that make this app really useful are only available in the “Pro” or “Enhanced” version. The app description does not mention this and in-app purchases are not identified. You only find out about the purchase AFTER you download the free version. There is no way to know what the upgrade costs unless you tap the upgrade button. It costs $1.99. There is no obvious way to cancel and go back to the app without purchasing the upgrade. So I was forced to purchase the upgrade. Not happy.

I should have looked at the reviews - only 5 and all made on the same day. This suggests a less than honorable intention in marketing.

The “Enhanced” version has UI deficiencies so I will call this a $2 learning experience and move on to another app.

Update
Thanks for the quick response (earns another star in my book). I will keep the app and continue my learning experience with it. I will update this review as I gain more experience using it.

Developer Response ,

I’m sorry you felt pressured into buying the app. You are free to request a refund through Apple. It was never my intention to make the purchase forced and a lot of functionality is available for free, please accept that as a solo app developer I have to try to make ends meet also.
Simon

Update: I hope your next experiences are better, please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Simon
