ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AarogyaSetu 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AarogyaSetu 2.0 has 5.7K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of AarogyaSetu 2.0's written reviews are positive against 35% of boAt Crest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AarogyaSetu 2.0 ships an update monthly, boAt Crest every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
