ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

2nd Phone Number holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd Phone Number has 3.9K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Devyce's written reviews are positive against 28% of 2nd Phone Number's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Devyce ships an update every 2 weeks, 2nd Phone Number monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
