myFirstech holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 10% of ALPINE Recording Viewer's written reviews are positive against 0% of myFirstech's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ALPINE Recording Viewer ships an update every 2 months, myFirstech monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
