DOTEC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 85% of M3Player's written reviews are positive against 50% of DOTEC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
M3Player ships an update every 11 days, DOTEC every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
