ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timer® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 63 and 103 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Performance Timer's written reviews are positive against 63% of Timer®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
