Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Oxun Rowing at 100% against FitShow's 42%. Oxun Rowing also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). FitShow's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.7K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FitShow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FitShow has 5.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of FitShow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Oxun Rowing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FitShow ships an update every 8 days, Oxun Rowing monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
