ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pomodoro Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pomodoro Timer has 88 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CDTimer +'s written reviews are positive against 89% of Pomodoro Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CDTimer + ships an update every 5 weeks, Pomodoro Timer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
