ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digital Ocean Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Maker. has 75 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of App Maker.'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Digital Ocean Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

App Maker. ships an update every 2 days, Digital Ocean Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
