ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ShiftLinkApp holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crelate has 36 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Crelate's written reviews are positive against 20% of ShiftLinkApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crelate ships an update monthly, ShiftLinkApp every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
