As explained use settings charm with Windows 8. Just did a shake weight routine, works well.

I was attempting to use this for my group fitness classes and it was a HUGE pain to figure out, the settings are buried in 2 different menus(really...) that you can't even find unless you read the other reviews.
It also doesn't appear you can save a particular setting or "profile". I have a free round timer on my android phone that took 30 seconds to figure out how to use AND it walked you through how to use it the first time through.
I'm not an idiot either, I set up my entire website from setting up the database on the server to re-writing some of the messed up HTML the WP template developer obviously missed.
I'm sorry but I assumed the point of the "apps" was for ease of use, if your going to take the time to make something make it the right way. Even if it's free, offer special features or ads free in a paid version... that just seems fair.

Yes, you can customize the number of rounds, break times, and rest periods. However, doing so isn't immediately clear (you have to go into the settings menu by swiping from the right) and the app does a poor job of informing the user of where to look.
Suggested changes
1.) Better gesture integration. My first instinct upon opening the app was to swipe up from the bottom to reveal the settings. Many apps utilize this gesture. When that didn't work, I tapped on the round time itself thinking that might bring up a menu--it didn't. Make it clear where to adjust settings.
2.) The UI itself is uninspired. You had the talent to program the app, I'm sure you have the talent to make it look better than this. I'm sorry if that's blunt but it's accurate.

If you know how to use Windows 8 in general, then the settings work just fine. You can make all of the adjustments through the settings menu. If you have trouble and need help, email the developer.
