Verdict
25 minutes and Power Focus both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of Power Focus's written reviews are positive against 43% of 25 minutes's. Power Focus also leads on ratings volume (459 vs 71). 25 minutes's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0).
