ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Meditation Timer + Log holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meditation Timer + Log has 168 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Meditation Timer + Log's written reviews are positive against 82% of Unguided Meditation Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Meditation Timer + Log ships an update monthly, Unguided Meditation Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
