ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Timer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 187, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Stopwatch plus Multiple Timer's written reviews are positive against 85% of Countdown Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stopwatch plus Multiple Timer ships an update every 8 days, Countdown Timer every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
