ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

appWash by Miele holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: appWash by Miele has 319 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of appWash by Miele's written reviews are positive against 83% of Mae's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

appWash by Miele ships an update every 2 months, Mae every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
