Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solventum Fluency Direct at 4.0 against New Innovations's 1.9. New Innovations's advantage is ratings volume (118 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Solventum Fluency Direct holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: New Innovations has 118 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Solventum Fluency Direct's written reviews are positive against 4% of New Innovations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Solventum Fluency Direct ships an update every 4 months, New Innovations every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
