Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Odd Machines sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Turn It On! lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
