Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MySQL Mobile Client at 4.5 against AppsOnAir's 3.2. MySQL Mobile Client also leads on ratings volume (204 vs 6). AppsOnAir's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MySQL Mobile Client holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySQL Mobile Client has 204 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of MySQL Mobile Client's written reviews are positive against 67% of AppsOnAir's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MySQL Mobile Client ships an update every 4 weeks, AppsOnAir every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
