We are pleased that you are using our tonies app. Our App-Tonies are always hard at work for you. In this update, they have once again worked on improvements. If your mobile phone memory is full during a recording, you can now save your recording until then. We have also optimised some steps in the setup process of the Toniebox: The request for access rights has been corrected. WLAN names (SSIDs) can now also be entered manually. Occasionally, it can happen that the set up process was successful despite the code word "hedgehog". This is now displayed. Do you have questions or feedback? The Tonie customer service is there for you in your profile.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: tonies at Free against Toothbrush timer's $0.99. tonies also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 months) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). Toothbrush timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
