ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer has 86K ratings behind it against 974, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Interval Timer Tabata Workout's written reviews are positive against 61% of Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Interval Timer Tabata Workout ships an update fortnightly, Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
