ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Conscious holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Conscious has 778 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ZeroWasteStore's written reviews are positive against 48% of Conscious's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZeroWasteStore ships an update every 3 weeks, Conscious weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
