ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fermax MeetMe holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fermax MeetMe has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Simon iO's written reviews are positive against 26% of Fermax MeetMe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simon iO ships an update every 3 months, Fermax MeetMe monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
