ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 69K ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 76% of Vibrating Alarm Clock & Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Digital Clock ships an update fortnightly, Vibrating Alarm Clock & Timer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
