Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Timer at 4.4 against ++Timer's 3.8. Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 4). ++Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 80% of ++Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timer ships an update every 3 months, ++Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
