ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Burnd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Interval Timer has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Best Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Burnd's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Best Interval Timer ships an update every 6 days, Burnd every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
