Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Needlentory at 57% against Makosh's 0%. Needlentory also leads on ratings volume (123 vs 5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Makosh's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Needlentory sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Makosh asks for nothing beyond the download.
Makosh holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Needlentory has 123 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Needlentory's written reviews are positive against 0% of Makosh's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Needlentory ships an update every 9 days, Makosh every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
