ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Themeology holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themeology has 648 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of i Map Editor's written reviews are positive against 17% of Themeology's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

i Map Editor ships an update every 14 months, Themeology every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
