Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JennAir at 4.2 against Oelo Anywhere's 3.4. JennAir also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 18). Oelo Anywhere's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 11%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
JennAir holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JennAir has 2.3K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of JennAir's written reviews are positive against 50% of Oelo Anywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JennAir ships an update every 2 months, Oelo Anywhere every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
