Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LiveWire EV at 48% against ProGLOW's 0%. LiveWire EV also leads on ratings volume (113 vs 9). ProGLOW's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ProGLOW holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveWire EV has 113 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ProGLOW's written reviews are positive against 48% of LiveWire EV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ProGLOW ships an update fortnightly, LiveWire EV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
