Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MySlomins Video at 2.5 against PoolSync's 2.1. MySlomins Video also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). PoolSync's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MySlomins Video holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61 and 64 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of MySlomins Video's written reviews are positive against 20% of PoolSync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MySlomins Video ships an update every 4 months, PoolSync every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
