ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wishlist Maker holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 18 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Recipe Book ships an update fortnightly, Wishlist Maker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
