ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myASNB holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myASNB has 360 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of myASNB's written reviews are positive against 48% of AffinAlwaysX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
