The message will be in that location so that anyone with the app can see it (but they have to be there). You can leave two types of Synes; public, which anyone can see, or private, which can only be seen by the person you leave it for. Soon we’ll be inviting some cool brands to join us, and they will get their own lens, so let us know who you’d like to follow, and we’ll do our best to get them on board.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AirSyne at 5.0 against Sticky's 2.6. Sticky's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AirSyne holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Sticky's written reviews are positive against 75% of AirSyne's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sticky ships an update every 9 days, AirSyne every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
