ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NASmeister holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NASmeister has 234 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of NASmeister's written reviews are positive against 100% of mysafeTnet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NASmeister ships an update weekly, mysafeTnet every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
