KAWA DVR holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ancel Trucker has 52 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of KAWA DVR's written reviews are positive against 25% of Ancel Trucker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KAWA DVR ships an update every 5 weeks, Ancel Trucker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
