Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyWAAT at 5.0 against IONITY's 4.5. MyWAAT also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). IONITY's advantage is ratings volume (148 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyWAAT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IONITY has 148 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of IONITY's written reviews are positive against 40% of MyWAAT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IONITY ships an update fortnightly, MyWAAT every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
