The TM-Timer application is a free download to allow for Phone App based control of the timer features of our network POE / WiFi clocks and DotMatrix displays. This application works through WiFi to control clocks and displays that are on the same local network. Count Up and Count Down feature controls are available. Multiple devices can be controlled simultaneously or individually, including the ability to start and stop multiple displays simultaneously allowing them to count in sync with each other. The simple, intuitive interface, allows for discovery of all display devices on the network with a single button click. 8 preset Count-Down times can be set in the Count-Down mode. The app also displays the time as displayed on the clock/dotmatrix displays. Version 2.0 adds a support for RGB displays, Presentation Mode, multiple Timer program storage, saved display IP addresses, and rejoining active timers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UniFi at 4.7 against TM's 1.0. UniFi also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 3). TM's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
