Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HeinerLiner at 5.0 against RMVgo's 4.4. HeinerLiner also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). RMVgo's advantage is ratings volume (594 vs 3) and review sentiment (40% vs 16%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HeinerLiner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RMVgo has 594 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of RMVgo's written reviews are positive against 16% of HeinerLiner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RMVgo ships an update every 2 months, HeinerLiner every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
