Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Siedle App at 1.9 against MB's 1.0. Siedle App also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1). MB's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Siedle App holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Siedle App has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of MB's written reviews are positive against 0% of Siedle App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MB ships an update every 5 weeks, Siedle App every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
