"I've been using the Round Timer app on my iPhone for about as long as I've had my Iphone... If you're someone that's training for rounds, doing circuit work, etc. this app is worth your 99 cents. With the level of customization you get, the app is competitive with the way more expensive round timer devices that can cost upwards of $10-100."

- Description -
The Round Timer was the first round/sparring/boxing timer available in the AppStore and, as a result, the most refined and stable. Don't be fooled by knock-offs (other developers copying our interface and layout).
The Round Timer is a convenient round/boxing/sparring timer for your iPhone/iPod touch, now compatible with iOS 8. The Round Timer is a fully functional round/sparring timer that allows you to customize the length of the rounds, warning bell and resting period. Each of these intervals can be configured separately up to an hour. It will run in the background even if you switch to another App.
With the sound themes, you can choose which alarm sounds to use: boxing/MMA, a relaxing Zen theme, and a few others. Don't like any of the dozens of preinstalled sounds? Don't worry! You can record your own sounds.
For large, loud environments you can plug your device into a stereo, or for small sessions put it in the corner of the mat. The Round Timer is great for any sparring or interval training: boxing, MMA, grappling / bjj, martial arts, yoga, meditation, crossfit, exercise, workout, stretching, etc.
Working out to music is not a problem. Start your music playing in the iPod app, then start RoundTimer. The sounds will play over top of your music without interrupting it.
Please feel free to e-mail [email protected] to suggest new sound themes!

Not so Good Anymore

I used to love this. But recently when I go into program selection (open) the different programs overlap and making the selection isn’t easy or can’t be done. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading but same thing. Any Fix for this would be appreciated...
Great app !!!!

This app is absolutely perfect!!! I cant believe i paid so very little for it. I've been involved in fighting sports for 20 years and during that time i have spent a ton of money trying to find a timer like this one. Perfect for any type of interval training. I've used it for bag work, shadow boxing, forms, low weight high rep weight lifting and road bike work. The updates now allow for any sound bit to be used. If you want "mic" from rocky to tell you that are going to have "greasy fast italian speed!" at the beginning of each round... No problem. Buy this app now, then do what i did... Gather up all your old round timers and list them on ebay.
Excellent App

Excellent app for anyone that wants to do interval training. Highly recommend this one.
The (almost) perfect timer app!

Don't be fooled by the "almost" in my tittle... I love this app and use it almost daily for tabata training for Crossfit and interval running to train for marathons. My only request is that they add a "warning" feature to give you an indication of when a green interval is about to end, just as you can for a red interval. When I am all-out sprinting for 90 seconds, I often want to know how much longer I have to keep killing myself, and I wish there was a way to set a buzzer so I could know I was near the end, without having to look which slows me down. Other then this, it's a fantastic app! (Past reviews complained about the iPhone timer causing the screen to turn off making the app more or less useless. This seems to have been fixed -- I have kept it running for as long as a half hour while doing interval runs and the screen never shut off.) All in all, SO worth the $00.99! Thanks for a great app.
Very nice but ... (v2.2)

Like several of the reviewers below I find this app to be really useful beyond the "ring"; cross and interval training in particular. One feature that would make this app a more complete timer app is the ability to add multiple warnings for each round. For example, if I have a 5min round I would like to hear a warning when 1min, 20sec, 10sec, 5sec, etc is left in the round. For any sort of training, this type of scheme allows you to pace yourself without constantly checking your watch/timer.
Great for kettlebell interval training

fantastic app. Lots of versatility and perfect integration with the Ipod music function.
Awesome...

...app. Does exactly what it says. I use. It for CrossFit and sparring and I couldn't be happier. I especially like that your iPod can be playing and the timer won't interrupt the music.
