ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Viewing Platform holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 91 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Viewing Platform's written reviews are positive against 70% of FYCit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Viewing Platform ships an update every 2 months, FYCit every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
