ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NOVA holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NOVA has 1.2K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tattd's written reviews are positive against 37% of NOVA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tattd ships an update every 8 days, NOVA monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
