Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Notchify at none against LCT Floating Timer's shown. Notchify also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). LCT Floating Timer's advantage is ratings volume (288 vs 11) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LCT Floating Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LCT Floating Timer has 288 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of LCT Floating Timer's written reviews are positive against 75% of Notchify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LCT Floating Timer ships an update every 3 months, Notchify every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
