Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for timer. against 4.4 for Timer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: timer. has 170 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of timer.'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Timer's.
