ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timer Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 61K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Timer Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gustav Workout Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timer Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Gustav Workout Timer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
