ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sprout at Work holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sprout at Work has 5.9K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Sprout at Work's written reviews are positive against 36% of iConnect Next by Timex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sprout at Work ships an update every 5 weeks, iConnect Next by Timex every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
