ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Advanced Search Smart Options holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Advanced Search Smart Options has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WebSafe 365's written reviews are positive against 71% of Advanced Search Smart Options's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WebSafe 365 ships an update every 3 days, Advanced Search Smart Options every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
