ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OpenWav holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenWav has 165 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OohYeah's written reviews are positive against 97% of OpenWav's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OohYeah ships an update every 2 weeks, OpenWav every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
