Intervals app

I’m looking for a simple iPhone app to use for 30/20/10 intervals- any recommendations?

I’d like to have voice prompt or bells over my playlist and have the 3-step cycle repeat five times.

Thought it would be simple to sort out but couldn’t get to grips with either Runtastic or Interval Timer, so any suggestions would be fab!

I’ve downloaded a free app from Apple store called JogRunSprint which I’m planning to use. It will time you doing 30-20-10 and can be configured to the number of repeats per set and the number of sets to do. It looks promising but haven’t used it yet.

This is another old link to an intervals podcast, I didn't use it but it might be of use...

I’ve got various different intervals saved in it for different purposes, simple and does the job nicely

Runkeeper allows you to programme in your own intervals.

Any feedback on these apps Sara? Have just asked a very similar question :)

Hello HoagyM- I found GymBoss was the simplest to set up. I tweaked the timings of the ‘run walk run’ setting and it just beeps at you at the appropriate moment. Very simple but perhaps a variation in beep would be even better.

Interval Timer has a nice interface but I couldn’t get to grips with all the (unnecessary) options; another called Timer was too garish with a cluttered interface.

I’d be interested to know which ones you find/choose as there are lots out there.

Thanks - I need to have something that works on the Apple Watch (I don't take the phone with me when running), so I think it's going to be either Interval Timer or Seconds. Will give them a try and let you know what I think.

Not what you're looking for?
