ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Night Vision FX Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Vision FX Camera has 897 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of BlackSight's written reviews are positive against 26% of Night Vision FX Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BlackSight ships an update every 5 weeks, Night Vision FX Camera fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
