- Description -
UltraTimer is an easy and convenient way of timing any activity or series of activities. It is now compatible with both iOS 3 and 4.
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
- Runs in the background
- Duplicate timers
- Copy/Paste Intervals and Actions
- Delayed start time
- Over 70 included sounds
- Record your own sounds
- Large portrait or landscape countdown timer display
- Help system explains each option on the current screen
- iPod music playback control lets you pause/play the current track or move to the next track from the countdown timer screen
- Pause the timer to temporarily halt the activity
- Timer is paused if it is interrupted and is restored when you come back into the App
- Screen can be locked by the user and the timer will still run
- Intuitive setup

UltraTimer Review
Flexible hands-free timer ideal for workouts
Martial arts is a big part of my life, and conditioning goes hand in hand with most of what I do during my daily training. Sparring, interval training, circuit training—these and other segmented events require a flexible timer and audible tone to spare me the hassle of keeping an eye on my watch.

Time to Workout: Plain and Simple designed Ultra Timer to aid segmented exercises such as interval training and circuit training. But you can use it for any sort of timing function.
Setup is simple and easy. You can use one of the supplied timers that are automatically installed. You can also use UltraTimer while listening to music on your mobile device, so your favorite tunes can keep you motivated while you pound the heavy bag, do wind sprints, or boil those Brussels sprouts to go along with your turkey.
UltraTimer is a simple but valuable tool for anyone who requires a flexible, hands-free event timer.
UltraTimer is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update.
