Thermal Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermal Camera has 429 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of MobIR's written reviews are positive against 30% of Thermal Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
