Workout Timer Interval & HIIT holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Workout Timer Interval & HIIT's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tabata Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
