ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quext Resident holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quext Resident has 35 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Lubn's written reviews are positive against 27% of Quext Resident's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lubn ships an update every 3 months, Quext Resident fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
