ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timers Everywhere holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Timers Everywhere's written reviews are positive against 100% of SmartDisplay X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timers Everywhere ships an update fortnightly, SmartDisplay X every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
