Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MW365 at none against HomeEye's 10. MW365 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). HomeEye's advantage is rating (2.1 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (45 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HomeEye holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 45 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of HomeEye's written reviews are positive against 20% of MW365'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 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
