Verdict
CrossFit and CrossTimer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CrossTimer's written reviews are positive against 51% of CrossFit's. CrossTimer also leads on chart position (#197 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). CrossFit's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 121). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
