ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TimeFinder holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeFinder has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of TimeFinder's written reviews are positive against 100% of Screen Time Chores's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TimeFinder ships an update daily, Screen Time Chores every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
