ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sigma Theory holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 112 Operator has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Sigma Theory's written reviews are positive against 61% of 112 Operator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
