Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BlitzWolf at 4.7 against BroadLink's 4.3. BlitzWolf also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). BroadLink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 114). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BlitzWolf holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BroadLink has 2.6K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of BlitzWolf's written reviews are positive against 58% of BroadLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BlitzWolf ships an update every 6 months, BroadLink monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
