# Theremin Touch vs XinematiX

Theremin Touch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (65% vs 54%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

XinematiX is free to download; Theremin Touch costs $2.99 up front. XinematiX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Theremin Touch asks for nothing beyond the download.

XinematiX holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XinematiX has 302 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Theremin Touch's written reviews are positive against 54% of XinematiX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Theremin Touch ships an update every 2 weeks, XinematiX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
