Why did we create another timer app when there are already dozens in the App Store? Because “Timer Z is the Last Timer You’ll Ever Need”! It's simple to use yet full featured. For example, you can easily set a timer to give a 15 seconds warning before another alarming at 1 minute mark. Some unique features of Timer Z are: - A simple count down timer can be set and started with just 3 taps - Multiple timers can be set and can run simultaneously - The timer will fire even if the Timer Z app is running in the background - Each timer can be named and set to expire after a time interval, or at a specific point in time like an alarm - While a timer is running, it can show remaining time or elapsed time since start, either in full hour/min/sec or just seconds - Background graphics shows the percent of time remaining - A running timer can be paused and resumed to continue where it left off - When a timer expires, there is a choice of alarm sounds, vibration, or no sound at all - Optionally the alarm can continue to sound until acknowledged - Upon expiration, a timer can start another timer, including itself in a loop - Timer activity history is saved and can be emailed, great for record keeping - Timer data can be saved and loaded from a linked Dropbox account Whether you’re looking for a simple timer, or one with all the bells-and-whistles, Timer Z is the best choice! NOTE: this version is limited to 2 timers. Use the convenient in-app purchase of Pro feature to add an unlimited number of timers, and eliminate all advertisements.

An app that allows a very large (effectively unlimited) number of timers to run simultaneously. Time multiple cooking pots, time the glue drying time, time the developing of a photographic print, time a time-out, time a turn in Pictionary, time a test, time the breaks between tests when you're a proctor, time a time-out, time a turn in a debate. Time anything! The app uses a dial when the device is in landscape and a digital display in portrait. A timer is very simple to set -- in landscape you touch the dial and drag the dial to the time you want. No longer do you need to scroll through a picker where you can only see several lines. If the devices is in portrait then you touch the digital display and select the time by scrolling through the digits. Creating a new timer is a simple matter of touching a button and then selecting the time scale. You can also rename the new timer and change the order of the timers in the list. A simple, intuitive icon in the list show if the timer is running and what percentage of the time is left. Great for busy cooks, hobbyists, and anybody who needs to time stuff.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TimerZ at Free against Timers!'s $0.99. TimerZ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). Timers!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

TimerZ is free to download; Timers! costs $0.99 up front. TimerZ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Timers! asks for nothing beyond the download.
TimerZ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimerZ has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of TimerZ's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timers!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TimerZ ships an update every 3 months, Timers! every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
