ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Viv Home Care holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viv Home Care has 159 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Viv Home Care's written reviews are positive against 58% of Ascend EVV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Viv Home Care ships an update fortnightly, Ascend EVV every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
