Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer has 86K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of PACER for Schools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
