ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Fondue Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Fondue Timer has 261 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of The Fondue Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Multiple Simple Timers+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Fondue Timer ships an update every 2 weeks, Multiple Simple Timers+ every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
