My Thornton holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of My Thornton's written reviews are positive against 5% of CodeRED Public Alerts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Thornton ships an update every 23 months, CodeRED Public Alerts monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
