SAN AIR holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Maker has 453 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SAN AIR's written reviews are positive against 17% of Flash Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SAN AIR ships an update every 3 weeks, Flash Maker monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
