ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DeskFlex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newforma has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Newforma's written reviews are positive against 0% of DeskFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Newforma ships an update every 2 months, DeskFlex monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
