ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ABIT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABIT has 60 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of ABIT's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tabata Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ABIT ships an update every 2 weeks, Tabata Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
