- Reviews - "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." - by Shawn Lord, www.mastersdivision.com "I found a GREAT interval timer app in the iTunes store for 99 cents!!! It's called Round Timer and it works like a dream!!!" - by Miss Lee, forums on thecathenation.com "Its a really useful applications. Beats carrying around that big round timer from the old days." - by Michael Manna, T4Show.com ----------------------------------- - 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 support@plainandsimplesoftware.com to suggest new sound themes! Interested in interval training (Tabata, symmetrical, etc... intervals)? Check out our "IntervalTimer".

User Reviews
I’ve been using RoundTimer for a long time and it used to open centered on my iPad screen in landscape orientation. After updating to the iOS 26.2.1, the app no longer opens in landscape, and it’s stuck on the side of the screen, and part of the display is cut off. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, restarting my iPad, and even resetting settings, but nothing fixes it. The app is now very difficult to use, and this problem seems to be related to compatibility with the latest iPadOS. Please update RoundTimer so it fully supports landscape on modern iPads and opens centered again.
Round timer has been good to me for many years. But it is actually a rectangle.
It lowers the volume if the app is running a time. Which is a useless function and makes the experience worse. Because you have to raise the volume all the way up to hear your music. And that causes the round counter noise to be obnoxiously loud and when the program stops your music is blaring. The fix would be to only lower the volume of your music when the round buzzer is making noise. But this flaw ruins the experience and makes me not want to use this app 10/10 do not recommend
This used to be a 5 star app for our kickboxing studio. The music used to turn off in between rounds when that option was selected. Now, even when you turn that feature on and save your preferences it still plays. Any fix to this and it will be 5 stars!
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...
I have tried other similar apps but none provide what this one does - a simple, yet flexible way to get an app set up for timing intervals of any sort. I much prefer it over anything else I have sampled.
The current IOS has messed it up though. I can not change settings! It is all squished to the left.
Simple, does what it's supposed to, user-friendly, awesome!
It used to be the best. Now - not so much. Why did you remove the ability to pause it by touching the timer screen?
Love your app, used forever, and need on my watch!! 5 stars once can :)
