ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pomu holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Tiny Timer's written reviews are positive against 56% of Pomu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
