ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nexar Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nexar Connect has 1.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SemperMatics's written reviews are positive against 40% of Nexar Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SemperMatics ships an update every 3 months, Nexar Connect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
