ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thermal Effect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermal Effect has 155 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of IR master's written reviews are positive against 22% of Thermal Effect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IR master ships an update every 3 months, Thermal Effect daily. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
