ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EGG Genius holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EGG Genius has 2.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of EGG Genius's written reviews are positive against 60% of Meat°it 3 Meat Thermometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EGG Genius ships an update fortnightly, Meat°it 3 Meat Thermometer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
