- Description -

UltraTimer is an easy and convenient way of timing any activity or series of activities.

You can set a single timer or multiple timers, each including series of count-down intervals that run back-to-back. Each interval can be customized to play a different alarm sound from the included library, as well as change the background color for visual feedback.

It is easy to set up intervals for any activity: training (martial arts, boxing, mma, circuit training, interval training, Crossfit, HIIT / HIT, yoga, meditation, exercise, workout, cycling, running, etc), time management for switching between multiple projects, or anything else you can think of.

For a complete workout, you can set up a Timer Group which will play individual timers back to back. Start out with your favorite Warm Up timer,  then run through your favorite Training timer, and end with a Stretching timer. UltraTrainer will run you through your full workout automatically.

The included sound library comes with a wide variety of reminder sounds suitable for relaxing timers, high intensity activities, and everything in between. Custom sounds can also be recorded via the microphone; you are not limited to the included sound library.

Exclusive to our products, users can browse the Timer Exchange, a community where people freely exchange timers. Search, browse, and download timers that other users have uploaded. If you want, you can upload your own timers to share with others.

If a friend also owns UltraTimer, you can exchange timers via a Wireless connection, e-mail, or the clipboard to use other methods.

Using UltraTimer with music playing is not a problem. You can begin playing music on the timer screen, pause it, or skip to the next track.

Just a few features in UltraTimer:

- Timer Exchange community

Troubleshooting

No sound

There are 2 common causes of no sound being produced on the iPhone or iPod Touch:

iPhone: The app respects the ringer mute switch and the ringer volume. Make sure that the ringer mute switch is not enabled (top-left of the side of the phone) and that the ringer volume is turned up.

iPod Touch: The app does not use the internal buzzer/speaker but rather plays through the headphones and/or speakers when the iPod is docked. In your iPod’s ‘Settings,’ under “General” > “Sounds,” make sure that “Sound Effects” is set to “Both.”
