ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MultipleTimers+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultipleTimers+ has 141 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of MultipleTimers+'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Progress Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MultipleTimers+ ships an update every 6 months, Progress Timer every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
