Boxing Timer Interval holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Timer for Workouts's written reviews are positive against 62% of Boxing Timer Interval's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timer for Workouts ships an update monthly, Boxing Timer Interval every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
