ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Self timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blur Photo has 205 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Self timer's written reviews are positive against 8% of Blur Photo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Self timer ships an update every 3 months, Blur Photo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
