# 小聪提醒 vs Time Arrow

The clearest difference is rating: Time Arrow at 4.7 against 小聪提醒's 4.1. Time Arrow also leads on ratings volume (88 vs 14) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). 小聪提醒's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 小聪提醒 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per year and Time Arrow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Arrow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Arrow has 88 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of 小聪提醒's written reviews are positive against 77% of Time Arrow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

小聪提醒 ships an update every 5 days, Time Arrow every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
