Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HushRoom holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash has 48 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of HushRoom's written reviews are positive against 67% of Flash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HushRoom ships an update every 6 months, Flash monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
