Upon expiry, configure the timer to allow snoozing, or have it send you multiple notifications for your attention. ◎ Customization You can colour your timers as sticky notes, available in six colours. Pick an icon that fits, and a rocking animation that loops as it counts down. You can also create groups to further organize your timers. ◎ Home Screen widgets Pin a timer to the Home Screen with widgets, or see it on iPhone in StandBy. Tap the timer, and you are taken directly to the app, opening the timer in full screen. ◎ Siri and Shortcuts Control your timers via voice commands with Siri.

Verdict
PowerTimer and Turnsy both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Turnsy's written reviews are positive against 50% of PowerTimer's. Turnsy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). PowerTimer's advantage is price (Free vs $0.49) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

PowerTimer is free to download; Turnsy costs $0.49 up front. PowerTimer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Turnsy asks for nothing beyond the download.
PowerTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerTimer has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PowerTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Turnsy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PowerTimer ships an update monthly, Turnsy every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
