Way Too Basic for $7.99

Expected for $7.99: An advanced app that would allow me to create a custom HIIT workout and playlist with appropriate song changes and overlaid cues signaling the change in intensity level. For example, the Body for Life HIIT workout uses a pattern of graduated intensity levels, the first 2 minutes is warm-up (intensity Level 5), the 3rd minute is your Level 6, 4th minute - Level 7, 5th minute - Level 8, 6th minute - Level 9, then at minute 7 you start back over at Level 6 and run this cycle four times; the 19th minute is your Level 10 and the 20th minute begins your cool down. I had hoped to be able to select a different song for each intensity level, or each minute, and have the app create the playlist, fading out the current song and in the new song when a new intensity Level is reached or minute begins. Figured the beeping would be an optional feature and there would be several options to choose from for the different levels of intensity.

Got for $7.99: An app with the very basic function of creating a playlist (just like in iTunes) and adding beeps (only two different beeps, one to signal fast and one to signal slow). It doesnt crop the song selections to fit the different intervals so if youve chosen a slow warm-up song that is longer than your warm-up period, youll still have to listen to it through your higher intensity periods until its over. Also the voice the app uses is the barely comprehensible computer voice, Fred. Honestly, I have created better HIIT playlists using GarageBand, I just thought if this was quicker it would be worth the $7.99; it isnt. :(
