Verdict
EDUS and SmartWOD Timer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of SmartWOD Timer's written reviews are positive against 46% of EDUS's. SmartWOD Timer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (54K vs 7.9K). EDUS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
