ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flip Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Clock has 351 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Flip Clock's written reviews are positive against 50% of Study Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flip Clock ships an update monthly, Study Tracker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
