ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MOMAX Backup holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iXflash has 113 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of iXflash's written reviews are positive against 18% of MOMAX Backup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iXflash ships an update every 3 weeks, MOMAX Backup every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
