Verdict
aCHo and Hueber Media both sit at 3.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of aCHo's written reviews are positive against 38% of Hueber Media's. aCHo also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Hueber Media's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hueber Media holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hueber Media has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of aCHo's written reviews are positive against 38% of Hueber Media's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
aCHo ships an update every 2 months, Hueber Media every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
