ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SWOVIE holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SWOVIE has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Squareyes's written reviews are positive against 67% of SWOVIE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Squareyes ships an update every 3 weeks, SWOVIE weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
