ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Donna Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Donna Pro has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Donna Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reeltime Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Donna Pro ships an update every 4 days, Reeltime Viewer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
