Climbing Training Timer

NOTE (Oct 2, 2015): full version purchase is disabled at the moment, we are preparing for a new release! Please stay tuned!
--------------------

This app provides workout timers designed for climbers training in the gym or at home:
- Hangboard *
- General Fitness exercises
- Free Work, Timed Rest (e.g. Bouldering rounds, Campusboard) *
- Timed Work, Timed Rest (e.g. ARC, Climbing rounds) *

* more than 2 sets requires a one-time upgrade (in-app purchase) of just €0.99 / $0.99. Updates will always be free!

The hangboard timer is a unique feature of this app providing a timer with repetitions of short Hang and Rest periods (a Set) followed by a longer Break period. You can customize the number of Exercises, Sets and Rep(etition)s, and select the amount of time for Work, Rest and Break (rest between sets) periods. For convenience, it has 3 default training cycles for beginner moderate and advanced climbers. In these workouts hand grips are shown on the screen. It is also possible to change the settings of a default workout, or setup a complete custom workout.

The other timers can be used for various other climbing or general exercises, such as to time the rest period while performing campusboard training, core fitness exercises, climbing rounds on a boulder wall, ARCing, and many other exercises.

Features:
- customize all details of your workouts.
- save (and reset) workouts.
- very clear and big timer display.
- (optional) sound and vibration feedback.
- full screen option.
- pauses automatically when you receive a phonecall.
- keeps track of the workouts performed by exporting to Google Fit (optional). (in a future update!)

It's now my goto app for hangboarding. Simple and useful. Timer beeps are well placed and sound nice. Some things I'd like to see in future: customizable grip type order, more/custom grip types, next grip type always visible on timer screen (at least during pauses). Google fit integration and logging weights.

Seems pretty nice so far. I'll update again after I get more time to try it out. Thanks for fixing that bug!

Appreciate the specialized design for hangboard workouts...much better than a run of the mill interval timer. I too also had the problem with the preview images so my first time using it had previews for the first two reps but after that nada so I had to guess/make up my own routine on the spot...teething pains and understandable but having the hold photos is a great way to make this app work for all hangboards and not restrict you to certain designs like other apps of this nature that I have seen. Would also recommend adding a hold preview button in the workout timer window for quick double-checks of the hold when you are tired and pumped and forget what the next hold is. Have not tried the customization setting...does it let you add hold photos from a library or can you take a picture of the hold in question? That would be cool. All in all very impressed and also need to say that the price is great too...thanks!

I love how this app incorporates the rock prodigy training program with the different hangboard programs. That way I spend more time training and less time messing around customizing a timing app. The only other thing that would be nice is to have is pictures of the trango rock prodigy and which hold to use for the next exercise. When using one of the hangboard routines it only showed a picture of the jug hold,which is the most obvious one, on a different style of hangboard. Overall I like the setup.

Awesome. I just did my second beginner hangboard workout, and used this for 3 weeks of base training. It's excellent. I'm guessing there could be improvements, but I can't think of anything that needs improvement.

Great app! Way worth the dollar. Only issue I had was the pictures didn't always show and when they did they were not fit to the screen. This made it impossible to tell what hold it was suggesting. Would be great if you could use your own set of pictures or a pack of pictures from another user since not all hang boards are the same. In any case I'm highly satisfied. I'm on the galaxy s6.
