ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timero has 524 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Timero's written reviews are positive against 85% of -ing: Habit Challenges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timero ships an update every 2 weeks, -ing: Habit Challenges daily. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
