Timex Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timex Smart has 557 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Timex Smart's written reviews are positive against 43% of VersaClimber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timex Smart ships an update every 6 weeks, VersaClimber every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
