ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WAVE PTX holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WAVE PTX has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TRBOnet Mobile's written reviews are positive against 36% of WAVE PTX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TRBOnet Mobile ships an update every 2 months, WAVE PTX every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
