ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iMAV holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMAV has 58 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of iMAV's written reviews are positive against 50% of Vertigenius's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iMAV ships an update every 6 days, Vertigenius monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
