Study like it counts. StudiesTimer turns study time into something you can see, share, and compete on. Start a timer, tick off what you finished, and watch your hours stack up next to your friends'. THREE TIMERS, ONE APP • Pomodoro — work and break blocks, any length you want. Not locked to 25 minutes. • Countdown — set a target and go. It keeps counting past zero, because you usually do too. • Stopwatch — open-ended sessions for when you don't know how long you'll last. STUDY WITH PEOPLE, NOT ALONE • Add friends and see who actually put the hours in this week • Start a study group with its own chat and shared schedule • Climb a global leaderboard that moves while you study • Go head to head with a friend in a live session A TASK LIST THAT LIVES WHERE YOU STUDY Write down what you're doing before you start. Tick it off when it's done. No app-switching, no separate to-do list to keep in sync. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • Hours by subject, by day, by week • Streaks that break only when you actually miss • Levels, ranks and achievements earned from real hours • Share cards worth posting after a good week ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Home Screen widgets show today's total at a glance. A Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to open the app just to check the time. WHAT'S FREE The timer, your tasks, streaks, friends and the leaderboard. No trial, no countdown, no card.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: StudiesTimer at none against Amino Acid Quiz's shown. StudiesTimer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Amino Acid Quiz's advantage is ratings volume (998 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
