ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

dewenwils holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dewenwils has 236 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Xaralyn Smart's written reviews are positive against 32% of dewenwils's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Xaralyn Smart ships an update every 14 months, dewenwils every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
