FunTime was born in a couple of tweets. Laura (@p0nja), Juancho's mom, tweeted "I have an idea for an app to helps childs with GDD and autism handle time" (or something like that) and then another tweet by our team (@codigodelsur) "Ok, we like the idea, count on us" (or something like that), so in 5 minutes we had a project. This first version of FunTime is the result of the first passionate 3 weeks of work, as dreamers we are, we hope it really helps thousand of kids all over the world to manage time in a better way, but just by helping one will be good enough for us to let us go to bed happy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fun Time Timer at none against Jigsaw Box Puzzles's 10. Fun Time Timer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and device support (3 vs 1). Jigsaw Box Puzzles's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (267 vs 8). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fun Time Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsaw Box Puzzles has 267 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Jigsaw Box Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 79% of Fun Time Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jigsaw Box Puzzles ships an update weekly, Fun Time Timer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
