Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Magnifying Glass * Flashlight at 4.3 against Protractor's 1.8. Magnifying Glass * Flashlight also leads on ratings volume (898 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Protractor's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 25%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magnifying Glass * Flashlight holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magnifying Glass * Flashlight has 898 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Magnifying Glass * Flashlight's written reviews are positive against 64% of Protractor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magnifying Glass * Flashlight ships an update every 3 weeks, Protractor every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
