Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer's written reviews are positive against 73% of PyramidTimer HIIT Intervals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
