Read full description

PortalTimer is a companion timer for Ingress agents. Put one panel per hacked portal and count three things at once: the time until you can hack again, the hacks you have left, and the four-hour burn-out. Features - One panel per portal: name, faction and four mod slots - Cooldown: 5 minutes on enemy portals / 3 on friendly ones, shortened by the rarity of your Heat Sinks - Hack count: 4 plus your Multi-hacks; the counter turns to the warning colour past 3/4 of the limit - Burn-out: after the cooldown of the hack that reached the limit, the panel becomes a four-hour bar (auto-start is a setting) - Sojourner (23 h 30 min), Virus and Drone (1 h each) timers - Local notifications and haptics when a timer ends - Home Screen (small, medium) and Lock Screen widgets; start and stop timers from the widget - Two looks: eXotic (Ingress Prime style hex badge) and Circle (ring) - Portal panels live in your iCloud and follow you to your other iPhones No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Donations are optional in-app purchases that unlock nothing. PortalTimer is an unofficial app, unrelated to Niantic, and never connects to the game.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Portal Timer at 100% against Simple Dice Roll's 27%. Portal Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). Simple Dice Roll's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple Dice Roll holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Dice Roll has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Simple Dice Roll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Portal Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simple Dice Roll ships an update every 9 months, Portal Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
