Pool Shot Timer is designed to make it easier to time the shots in a game of pool. The default setting is a 60 second countdown with a warning at 30 seconds but these can both be changed if required. At the warning and when the timer runs out a chosen notification sound will play or you can use the built in speech option. Accidentally closed the app? Not a problem, a notification will appear at the warning time and when the timer runs out. (Notifications must be enabled when prompted for this to work) During the countdown, the option to call a 'Time Out' is enabled. From there you can continue the timer, start from the default time or just stop the timer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BilliardManager at 4.2 against Pool Shot Timer's 3.3. BilliardManager also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 3). Pool Shot Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BilliardManager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Pool Shot Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.
BilliardManager holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BilliardManager has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pool Shot Timer's written reviews are positive against 88% of BilliardManager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pool Shot Timer ships an update every 27 months, BilliardManager fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
