Thangs holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thangs has 117 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Thangs's written reviews are positive against 50% of Storage Tags Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thangs ships an update weekly, Storage Tags Connect monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
