ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vienna Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airthings has 3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Airthings's written reviews are positive against 0% of Vienna Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Airthings ships an update every 2 weeks, Vienna Connect every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
