ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pomodoro & Focus Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pomodoro & Focus Timer has 87 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of FocusTimer 2's written reviews are positive against 47% of Pomodoro & Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FocusTimer 2 ships an update every 9 months, Pomodoro & Focus Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
