ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Auxy Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auxy Studio has 4.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Dahlia Delay's written reviews are positive against 70% of Auxy Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dahlia Delay ships an update every 5 months, Auxy Studio every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
