ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SQUIRE™ Commander holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQUIRE™ Commander has 4.4K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of SQUIRE™ Commander's written reviews are positive against 73% of Readyhubb's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SQUIRE™ Commander ships an update every 11 days, Readyhubb every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
