ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiny Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Timer has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Tiny Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Calcly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiny Timer ships an update every 3 weeks, Simple Calcly every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
