ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Boxing Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxing Interval Timer has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Boxing Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Modern Interval Workout Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Boxing Interval Timer ships an update every 3 months, Modern Interval Workout Timer every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
