TimerSwipe is a βno-lookβ countdown timer: swipe anywhere on the screen to start the timer and receive audio or vibration feedback when the timer begins and ends. It's perfect for any time when you need to be able to start a short countdown timer without looking at your iPhone's screen. I use it to time awkward stretches during physical therapy and workouts. Features: * Create and save timers of your preferred duration * Favorite a timer with a heart and TimerSwipe will open directly to that timer * Full VoiceOver support * Thatβs it! TimerSwipe is a no-frills app that gets out of your way so you can start counting down

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimerSwipe at none against RandomTimer's 1. TimerSwipe also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
