Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Danby at 2.3 against Broil King iQue's 1.7. Danby also leads on ratings volume (81 vs 7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Broil King iQue's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Danby holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Danby has 81 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Danby's written reviews are positive against 21% of Broil King iQue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Danby ships an update every 13 months, Broil King iQue every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
