Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hooked at none against TuneWizard's 2. Hooked also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). TuneWizard's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TuneWizard holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TuneWizard has 57 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Hooked's written reviews are positive against 60% of TuneWizard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hooked ships an update every 2 months, TuneWizard every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
