Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Linear Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linear Mobile has 2.3K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Roam's written reviews are positive against 57% of Linear Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roam ships an update every 4 days, Linear Mobile weekly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
