ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multi Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Usual Timer for Widget has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Usual Timer for Widget's written reviews are positive against 50% of Multi Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Usual Timer for Widget ships an update every 5 weeks, Multi Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
