Checked 3 November 2026 against each app’s Google Play UK listing. “Contains ads” and “In-app purchases” are Google Play’s own labels. GRIT is described from this site. Prices and labels change, so check the listing before you install. We have not tested the other apps hands-on. PushPress Workout Timer was not found on Google Play UK, and the BoxTimer on Google Play is a different app from Box Timer on the App Store, so neither is listed.
