Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch has 41K ratings behind it against 391, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch's written reviews are positive against 75% of Counter +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch ships an update weekly, Counter + fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
