ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Protect It holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Protect It has 2.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Black Room's written reviews are positive against 21% of Protect It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Black Room ships an update monthly, Protect It every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
