ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Odd Machines holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Odd Machines has 89 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Turn It On! lite's written reviews are positive against 61% of Odd Machines'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 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
