ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SugarWOD holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SugarWOD has 91K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of SugarWOD's written reviews are positive against 60% of WOD Timer by Atlon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SugarWOD ships an update every 11 days, WOD Timer by Atlon every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
