Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Living Forward at 100% against Lexus's 46%. Living Forward also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Lexus's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (332K vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lexus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lexus has 332K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Living Forward's written reviews are positive against 46% of Lexus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Living Forward ships an update every 2 months, Lexus monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
