ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Units holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Units has 261 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Units's written reviews are positive against 75% of Bridges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Units ships an update every 5 weeks, Bridges every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 5, 2026 respectively.
