ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SHIPSMobile holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHIPSMobile has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of SHIPSMobile's written reviews are positive against 17% of ISAAC Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SHIPSMobile ships an update every 3 weeks, ISAAC Connect every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
