Gary Pascoe		 I've been using this app for years. At its core it is a great exercise tool but: It has an audible countdown feature which is a great idea in theory however in practice it is frustrating to the point of being useless. The problem being with any reasonable media volume setting for virtually all other aps this app is UN-hearable. And set the volume for this app, all other apps become deafening. I still use it, I still like it a great deal. I still hate the volume issue.

Ethan Whitehouse		 About the most straight forward app for this. It does exactly what it says. The same everytime. No pause between sets but I've grown to like it I waste less time and spend more time under tension.

Deus ex machina (al3x)		 Thank you for the great app - simple and to the point great help to track exercises. However there are couple of moments that can use improvement. In order of importance - Please, please, please add configurable sound/vibration notification for single exercise timer start/stop There is very annoying bug on MIUI 13 - when you start 1st exercise screen goes off, and you need to turn it back on and then it stays on until the end. I am removing 1 star for that problem please fix it

R		 It's been over 600 excersises with this app. I can't remember what lower back pain is anymore :). Now it is on my next, new phone. It does the job. Another year with Plank Timer. I use it everyday and, if devs decide to make paid version without ads, I'm more than happy to buy it.

Jan J		 Very easy to use app without distracting "this and that features after exercise". You just set your personal program (including breaks between exercises and so on) and go for it. Then you can check the simple history and that is pretty much all. Ads are managed the great way too.

A Google user		 Very good and straightforward to use, keeps the screen on and offers pauses for posture changes. Customizable as well. As an improvement, I would find it useful to be able to clone and modify already existing combos, rather than having to create new ones from scratch.

Shannon Boyd		 I like the fact that it's optional to have rest periods in between the plank exercises. I found got to be more challenging and really enjoy it. I also like the fact that I can add to the timer as needed.

Southern Legends		 Perfect if you want to arrange varied multitude of planks into smooth uninterruptable streak and pull it out in one go. The only improvement I'd like to see is an option to rename the plank exercise - there are numerous kinds of full plank, for example, and for now I have to memorize which type of full plank is next to perform (mountain climber, pulsing, stepping, donkey kicks, inchworms etc.). Also, it would be useful to diversify sounds for start/finish of exercise/rest periods. Thank you.

CWL C		 Overall a good app! I like it where there are pics of perfect position and they make u wanna do as perfect too. Also like that u can customise your own set. It would be great if there's a timer too so I can see how long I can hold the plank without setting specific timing.

Dave Pettit		 This is a nice app for those who want to challenge themselves for consecutive days in a row. It also allows the option to create a plank routine including full arm extension plank, forearm extension plank, leg lift planks, side planks, and reverse planks. It would be nice to have more plank options including those with motion like rotation side plank and knee to chest and back out to a leg lift.
