ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Orphek iCon holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orphek iCon has 51 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of AQUA Dosing's written reviews are positive against 0% of Orphek iCon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AQUA Dosing ships an update monthly, Orphek iCon every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
