Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PowerView holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerView has 2.4K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of PowerView's written reviews are positive against 41% of RollApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PowerView ships an update every 5 weeks, RollApp every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
