ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TimePal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circa³ has 381 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of TimePal's written reviews are positive against 63% of Circa³'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TimePal ships an update every 6 weeks, Circa³ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
