ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pilates Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TempoFlow | Routine Builder has 59 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of TempoFlow | Routine Builder's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pilates Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TempoFlow | Routine Builder ships an update every 3 weeks, Pilates Timer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
