A few months ago I had my right arm injured. The doctor recommended several exercises as part of the treatment. They were like "do this for 15 seconds, 10 times". And quite often I got distracted and lost the count. What a iOS developer can do? Write an app, of course! So here you are: an app for repetitive, timed activities.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Intervals at 5.0 against Simple Repeat Timer's 3.7. Intervals also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). Simple Repeat Timer's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
