ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bit Buddy has 6 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 100% of Bit Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk ships an update monthly, Bit Buddy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
