ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Touchstone Fireplace holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touchstone Fireplace has 15 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 0% of Touchstone Fireplace'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, Touchstone Fireplace every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
