ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Off Day holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Off Day has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Locter's written reviews are positive against 95% of Off Day's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Locter ships an update every 2 weeks, Off Day fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
