ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Noise Explorer Hub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ather has 278 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Ather's written reviews are positive against 25% of Noise Explorer Hub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ather ships an update monthly, Noise Explorer Hub every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
