Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Access Vista at 4.6 against Nail `em's 2.3. Access Vista also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (63 vs 3). Nail `em's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Access Vista holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Access Vista has 63 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Nail `em's written reviews are positive against 0% of Access Vista's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nail `em ships an update every 11 months, Access Vista every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
