Improving acoustic signal for end of intervals #28

At the moment it seems to me that you do not get an acoustic signal when the interval (workout or rest) is over. You can either enable the countdown audio announcements or have a timer signal for each second.

For me thereby the most basic signal is missing (or I do not understand how to enable it): a simple signal (loud beep that is also audible if you listen to music on the mobile plus an optional vibrate) whenever the workout time and the rest time intervals are over.

It feels strange if you train with enabled countdown announcements and there is a "5, 4, 3, 2, 1," and then no acoustic feedback when the interval is really over. This makes it hard to use the timer without constantly watching at the screen. (And just using the countdown and counting yourself to "0" is inconvenient when you use short Tabata intervals, e.g. a 0:20 workout 0:10 rest interval as you end up with constant countdowns and no option to just get a beep once the time is over.)

Would it be possible to add such a acoustic signal and as a nice to have the option to have a vibration as well?

PS: Thank you very much for the, in my view, big improvement to define all levels or workout and rest intervals + sets. This is a huge improvement to the old restrictions, especially for the sets.

+1. This would be great. What I would like the most would be three beeps for the three last seconds and a larger one when the counter reaches zero (bep bep bep beep). I would also like to be able to choose a half-time beep instead of a spoken announcement, but that one is less important.

And thanks for a useful app!

Yes last 3 to 5 second and a final ring would be perfect.
