ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quin for ABUS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannondale has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Cannondale's written reviews are positive against 8% of Quin for ABUS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cannondale ships an update every 2 weeks, Quin for ABUS every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
