Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shiliew at 88% against Oriole's 43%. Shiliew also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Oriole's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Oriole holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oriole has 221 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Shiliew's written reviews are positive against 43% of Oriole's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shiliew ships an update every 2 months, Oriole weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
