ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Make for iOS holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make for iOS has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Make for iOS's written reviews are positive against 33% of PassKit PassReader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
