TIMERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL About Timers is the most visually stunning way to run multiple timers and stopwatches on iPhone and iPad. Born in the kitchen — where managing multiple things at once is the difference between a great meal and a burnt one — but at home everywhere you need precise timing. MULTIPLE TIMERS, ALL AT ONCE Run as many timers as you need, simultaneously. Every timer is a visual tile with vibrant gradients, a glowing progress ring, and ambient light that pulses as it counts down. Pasta, sauce, vegetables — all on screen at the same time, each with its own alarm sound and repeat alerts. STOPWATCHES WITH SPLIT TRACKING Track laps, rounds, and splits with millisecond precision. Set a target time for each split — the app shows you instantly whether you were faster or slower, in green or red. Ideal for workouts, coaching, board games, or any activity where every second counts. DEEPLY INTEGRATED INTO iOS • Home screen widgets in small, medium, and large • Lock screen widgets — circular progress and rectangular countdown • Time-sensitive notifications that break through Focus and Do Not Disturb BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN Dozens of color themes and gradient palettes: rainbow, gold, nova, and more. Choose your shape — circle, squircle, or rectangle. Ambient glow effects in gradient or solid styles. 15 custom app icons to match your home screen. This is what a timer app looks like when design actually matters. ABOUT TIMERS PRO Upgrade to unlock unlimited timers and stopwatches, lock screen widgets, Focus Mode (hide stopped timers for a cleaner view), alternative app icons, and every new theme added in future updates. Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time purchase. Privacy: https://www.abouttimers.com/privacy.html EULA: https://www.abouttimers.com/eula.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MultiTimer at none against About Timers's shown. MultiTimer also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 57) and review sentiment (79% vs 67%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MultiTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and About Timers sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 67% of About Timers's.
MultiTimer ships an update every 2 weeks, About Timers fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
