Physical Therapy Timer

Description

THIS IS STRICTLY AN ALPHA RELEASE

PT Timer is a simple way to perform timed exercises without having to keep an eye on the clock or try to count seconds in one’s head.

I run this timer in the background so I can read books while doing timed exercises.

For example, selecting 30, 5 and V causes my phone to pulse at 30 and 5 second intervals. No one can hear the pulse but I’ll feel it and notice it while I perform stretches and read. This takes the monotony out of a stretching regime.

The timer will run in the background as long as you don’t hit the back button and leave one of the number buttons selected. Hit 30, for example, and then the Home button. Fire up Kindle and be notified every thirty seconds.

If for some reason you do not know how to stop the timer, start the application and then hit the back key. Alternatively hold the Home button to bring up the list of running apps and swipe PT Timer off the screen.

Future versions will embed the controls into the notification bar.
