# ShowTouch 6 vs Set Light

ShowTouch 6 and Set Light both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ShowTouch 6's written reviews are positive against 0% of Set Light's. ShowTouch 6 also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Set Light's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Set Light holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ShowTouch 6's written reviews are positive against 0% of Set Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 8, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
