ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Affinity Photo 2 for iPad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Affinity Photo 2 for iPad has 3.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Super Stream Player's written reviews are positive against 43% of Affinity Photo 2 for iPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Super Stream Player ships an update monthly, Affinity Photo 2 for iPad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
