Rep The SetAge suitability
Rep The Set is a workout timer. This page sets out what is and is not in the app, so a parent, a teacher or an App Store reviewer can judge it without installing it.
What the app is
You build a workout from stations, blocks and rounds, run it on a full-screen clock with voice cues and haptics, and read the numbers afterwards — time per station, heart rate if you wear a strap, how this session compared with the last one. That is the whole app. It is a tool for training, used mostly in a gym or a garage, and it holds nothing that a timer and a training log would not.

Advertising
People on the free tier see ads in two places: the workout list and the screen after a session. There is no ad network and no advertising SDK in the app. Ads come from a small list we publish ourselves, everyone sees the same list, and nothing about the person looking at an ad is sent anywhere — no identifier, no profile, no targeting. An ad cannot follow a child around the internet because there is nothing following anyone.
What may be advertised is limited by policy: physical goods, gym or class memberships, event registration and ordinary web pages. No alcohol, tobacco, gambling, dating, weight-loss or supplement advertising, and no adult categories. Tapping an ad opens the page in Safari rather than inside the app, and every ad carries a report control that hides it immediately and tells us why. Pro removes ads entirely.
Purchases
There is exactly one thing to buy: Pro, a one-time unlock. No subscription, no consumables, no in-app currency, no loot boxes, nothing randomised and nothing that can be bought twice. It goes through Apple, so Screen Time and Ask to Buy control it the same way they control any App Store purchase.
Sharing and other people
The app has no social layer at all: no feed, no comments, no profiles, no followers, no messaging, and no way for one user to reach another inside it. Nobody can contact your child through this app because there is no channel to do it through.
The one thing that leaves your account is a workout you choose to share. The app makes a link and you send it yourself, to whoever you want. It carries the workout — its name, its exercises and its timings — and nothing about you. Anyone holding the link can open it, so treat it like any link you send; it is unlisted rather than secret, and nothing is published anywhere public or browsable by strangers.
The text people type — workout names and their own exercise names — stays in their account and is never shown to other users, moderated or otherwise, because there is nowhere for it to be shown.
Health and fitness
The app reports training metrics: elapsed time, per-station splits, pace, and — if a Bluetooth heart-rate strap is connected — heart rate, training zones and training load. These are performance numbers, not medical ones. The app does not diagnose anything, does not give treatment advice, and is not a substitute for a doctor. Anyone starting to train, and anyone training with a medical condition, should talk to one first.
There is no dieting, calorie-intake or nutrition tracking, no body-weight or body-image tracking, and no before-and-after photography. Where the word calories appears it is the unit a rower or ski erg displays as a measure of work in that station, not something eaten. Difficulty bands describe what a beginner, an advanced athlete or an elite athlete would clock on the workout in front of you — a reference point, not a target anyone is pushed towards.
What the app can reach on the phone
The app asks for two permissions and holds no others. Bluetooth, to read a heart-rate strap — the app talks to heart-rate sensors and nothing else on the Bluetooth radio. And notifications, only if workout reminders are switched on; the schedule stays on the device and no server ever learns it.
It never asks for location, camera, microphone, photos, contacts or Apple Health data, because it does not use them. An account needs an email address and a password. What is stored and why is set out in the privacy policy.
For parents
Controlling purchases
Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → iTunes & App Store Purchases turns in-app purchases off, or Ask to Buy sends every attempt to you for approval. The app has no purchase path that avoids Apple, so this covers all of it.
Turning reminders off
Reminders only exist if someone sets them, and they can be switched off in the app or in iOS Settings → Notifications.
Age
The app is used through an account — there is no guest mode — and an account is intended for people aged 13 or over, a minimum that may be higher in the European Economic Area. The App Store rating is set to 13+ to match, rather than left at the lower rating the content alone would earn. The app does not run its own age verification and does not need parental controls of its own; iOS provides everything that applies to it.
The rating you see
The App Store rating is 13+, and we set it there deliberately. Apple's questionnaire calculated a lower one from the content described above, which is fair on content alone — but the app is used through an account, and an account is for people aged 13 or over. A lower rating would have offered the app to people our own terms turn away, so we overrode it. Apple converts that into the equivalent rating for each country, so the number on the listing can differ from country to country while meaning the same thing.
This page is the additional information linked from our App Store listing, and it is kept current with the app rather than written once.
Anything unclear, or anything on this page that does not match what you find in the app: write to support@reptheset.app or use the contact page, and we will fix it.
