ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DonationAlerts Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DonationAlerts Studio has 62 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Stories AR's written reviews are positive against 37% of DonationAlerts Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stories AR ships an update monthly, DonationAlerts Studio every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
