ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stem Split holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stem Split has 1.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Jazz Licks's written reviews are positive against 30% of Stem Split's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jazz Licks ships an update every 6 days, Stem Split every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
