ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quit Drinking holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quit Drinking has 4.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Quit Drinking's written reviews are positive against 88% of Barry Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quit Drinking ships an update every 3 months, Barry Counter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
