Ticka - Timer and Stopwatch for Circuit Training, Interval Training and HIIT [iPhone]

Need a stopwatch or timer for circuit training, interval training or HIIT?

Ticka is a simple iOS stopwatch and timer app designed for exercise and fitness applications.

Ticka is intuitive and easy to use.

The Ticka stopwatch screen gives you two stopwatches, each with lap functionality, that run independently.

Similarly, the Ticka timer screen gives you two timers that run independently. So, if, for example, you're timing yourself doing a 10 minute circuit with the main timer, you can set the secondary timer to time a particular exercise in that circuit.

The main timer is also linked to a rest timer, and can be set to repeat automatically upon finishing. This makes Ticka perfect for your HIIT sessions.

Ticka utilises as much of the screen as possible for maximum visibility. So you can put your iPhone or iPad down while you exercise and still keep track of the elapsed time.

The interface also adapts to your devices's screen size, so you can use Ticka on the 3.5 inch screen of the iPhone 4S, all the way up to the 12.9 inch screen of the iPad Pro. The bigger the screen, the bigger Ticka will display its stopwatches and timers.

The Ticka interface will also adapt to landscape orientation for even larger stopwatch and timer displays.

Your device's screen will not dim or turn off while a Ticka timer or stopwatch is running on screen. So no more having to unlock your phone to check how long you have left in your interval.

Ticka's timers and stopwatches will continue in the background if you close Ticka or switch apps. If the timers are running, and Ticka isn't open, Ticka will send you an alert when a timer finishes (a maximum of 64 alerts are scheduled when you close out of the app).

For those who take their gym attire seriously, Ticka's colour scheme is extremely customisable. So you can match Ticka to your mood or your workout gear. Check out the screen shots for examples.

Obviously, you need a bit of music to workout to, so Ticka lets you play music from other apps while Ticka is running. If you don't want to hear Ticka's timer alerts, you can adjust the in-app alert volume to be lower than the global device volume. If you set Ticka's timer alert volume to 0, you can choose whether you want in-app vibration alerts when your timers finish.
