Pass the Timer is a count down timer with seconds, minutes, and hours. It allows multiple timers. But what makes this timer unique is its ability to share your timer with any of your contacts. If you can message a contact, then you can send them a timer. Great for coordinating family and school groups. The timer can be shared from the main view as the timer is started or during the display, as long as there is at least 60 seconds remaining. Notifications notify the timer creator as well as the recipients, as long as they have opened their shared timer in the Messages extension.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yubico Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yubico Authenticator has 268 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DoYouHaveTheTimer's written reviews are positive against 44% of Yubico Authenticator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
