ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Where Am I? holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device System Services has 394 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Device System Services's written reviews are positive against 50% of Where Am I?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Device System Services ships an update every 4 months, Where Am I? every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
