Swiftime holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Swiftime's written reviews are positive against 67% of Breaking Dawn Alarm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Swiftime ships an update every 7 months, Breaking Dawn Alarm every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
