ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

funoon holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit Now has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Orbit Now's written reviews are positive against 0% of funoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 20, 2026 respectively.
