This app is a timer that can measure multiple elapsed times. As an example of use, when you are feeding your baby breast milk and infant formula, you can quickly check how long it has been since the last feeding. You can also measure various things at the same time, such as sleeping time and the interval between taking painkillers after childbirth. As another example, it can be used to manage study time for each subject, such as math or physics, or multiple cooking times during cooking. To use the app, tap the "Add new task" button, set the name and color, and you're ready to go. Tap the play button to start measurement. It is a simple structure that the measurement is completed when the stop button is pressed. Double-tap a task to edit its name, color, start time, and more. In addition, the free version can measure two elapsed times at the same time. If you want to set 3 or more items to measure, or if you want to hide advertisements, please consider purchasing the premium version in the app. ---------------------- Terms of Service and Privacy Policy: https://akikibai-labolatory.jimdofree.com/privacy-policy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Past Events at 5.0 against Elapsed Timer's 4.3. Elapsed Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 25 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Past Events sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Elapsed Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Past Events holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Past Events's written reviews are positive against 50% of Elapsed Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Past Events ships an update every 25 months, Elapsed Timer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
