PulseAudio Streaming holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ICVIEW PRO has 60 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PulseAudio Streaming's written reviews are positive against 14% of ICVIEW PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PulseAudio Streaming ships an update every 18 months, ICVIEW PRO every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
