SmarTemp 3.0 holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ancel Trucker has 39 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of SmarTemp 3.0's written reviews are positive against 25% of Ancel Trucker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmarTemp 3.0 ships an update every 5 weeks, Ancel Trucker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
