ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Riesbeck Foods holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riesbeck Foods has 468 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Riesbeck Foods's written reviews are positive against 67% of Loyal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Riesbeck Foods ships an update every 2 months, Loyal every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
