ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CallTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Phone Number has 923 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of CallTimer's written reviews are positive against 64% of Second Phone Number's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CallTimer ships an update monthly, Second Phone Number fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
