Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Third Reality at 2.2 against DoHome's 1.5. DoHome's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Third Reality holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 43 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Third Reality's written reviews are positive against 13% of DoHome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Third Reality ships an update every 3 months, DoHome fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
