ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Touch Portal holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 771 and 812 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of EasyCanvas's written reviews are positive against 55% of Touch Portal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EasyCanvas ships an update every 6 weeks, Touch Portal every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
