Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer

Frequent and intrusive ads disrupt users' workouts, causing frustration and making the app less usable during exercise sessions.

the recent update (April 2020) made the app unusable... ads have rendered it useless.

You can’t edit the workout once you’ve made it without paying $12 which is way too much for a full version.
