Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Java Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Screenia sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Java Recipes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 47 and 79 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Java Recipes's written reviews are positive against 84% of Screenia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Java Recipes ships an update every 2 months, Screenia every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
