"I do not need anything else but I want to set the time fast ..." Timer Holic is aiming for a different goal than many of the timer apps out there. We focused on things that were quick and easy to set up, rather than rich features. No matter what time you set, it can take a few seconds. Other features - Customizable alert message - Use up to 10 timers at the same time - Set time by second - Stopwatch (set time to 1 second) "Leave the small timing to Timer Holic and you pay attention to more important things."

Lots of timers, lots of features, and fast to use! Features - Can restart timers without leaving your game - Set Quiet times to not disturb your family - It speaks - Saved timers - Lots of timers - It's free - Adjust the time while the timer is running - Auto-looping timers - iCloud Sync - Send timers to other devices - One touch copy and start ABTimers helps you play Message from the author: I play iPhone games. A lot. Many of them make you wait. I wrote ABTimers to help me play. I use it every day. Every time I think "It would be really cool if ABTimers did this or that", I add it as a feature. That's why there are so many settings and options for what should be a simple timer app. If you use ABTimers and you find it doesn't do something, please let me know. I will try to add it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timer Holic at 4.9 against ABTimers's 4.5. Timer Holic also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2). ABTimers's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Holic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ABTimers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timer Holic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Holic has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Timer Holic's written reviews are positive against 100% of ABTimers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timer Holic ships an update every 2 months, ABTimers every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
