ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TalkingTimer™ holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TalkingTimer™ has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TalkingTimer™'s written reviews are positive against 80% of ++Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
