ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StreamlyTV holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StreamlyTV has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of GLITCH Animation's written reviews are positive against 17% of StreamlyTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GLITCH Animation ships an update every 3 weeks, StreamlyTV monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
