ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tabaline holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabata Timer · has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Tabaline's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tabata Timer ·'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tabaline ships an update every 3 days, Tabata Timer · every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
