DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: U8 has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk's written reviews are positive against 64% of U8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk ships an update monthly, U8 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
