A Tabata workout timer that is simple, clear, and beautiful. 1. Drag to set your rounds, rest, work, etc 2. Tap to workout. While the app is ultra-simple to use, we didn't skip any necessary features: ∙ Listen to your music apps while you work out. ∙ Audio guides you through the workout, so you don't have to be looking at the screen. ∙ You can leave the app and still listen to the audio guides, in order to follow a workout you found online. ∙ History and statistics pages to review your previous workouts. ∙ You can even load the settings from any previous workout! If you have any questions or suggestions, simply tap "Contact Support" and tell us! We'll try to include your idea in our next update. This app offers an optional auto-renewable subscription, Premium Pass (monthly), and a one-time Lifetime Pass. Premium Pass starts with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers, then renews automatically every month at the price shown in the app until you cancel. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, with a free trial, when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in your Apple Account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and Premium stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrainUpp at none against Tabata Timer □'s 6. TrainUpp also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Tabata Timer □'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
