When the timer starts, each bar will animate in order from the top, along with the countdown display. It notifies by sound from 3 seconds before the countdown ends. Repeat playback of the timer group is also possible. If you save the group you created in the list, you can call it immediately at any time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Progress Timer at 4.1 against Dynamic Timer's 1.0. Progress Timer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). Dynamic Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Progress Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Progress Timer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Progress Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dynamic Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Progress Timer ships an update every 8 months, Dynamic Timer monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
