ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fireflies holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fireflies has 5.3K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Silent Touch Timer's written reviews are positive against 55% of Fireflies's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Silent Touch Timer ships an update every 3 weeks, Fireflies every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
