This app simulates one of the digits from the roadside bank clocks of the past. It provides the user a chance to pick a number and see how the 7-segment display flips to show the number selected. Choosing a new number flips the segments again. The user taps a number and slides the circle to change the digit. The user chooses how fast the segments flip. At the bottom of the display are modes for the app to animate counting up, counting down, and counting randomly ("mixed up" mode). Selecting Tap & Slide mode stops the animation.

Boxing Timer's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
