ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Linkboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Shooglebox's written reviews are positive against 73% of Linkboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shooglebox ships an update every 4 weeks, Linkboard fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
