ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Jump holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Jump has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Interval Jump's written reviews are positive against 100% of Interval Climber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Interval Jump ships an update every 6 days, Interval Climber every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
