Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NuWave Connect at 4.4 against ePEF's 1.8. NuWave Connect also leads on ratings volume (618 vs 11) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.0). ePEF's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NuWave Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuWave Connect has 618 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of NuWave Connect's written reviews are positive against 18% of ePEF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NuWave Connect ships an update every 3 months, ePEF every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
