Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remember The Milk holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remember The Milk has 4.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Remember The Milk's written reviews are positive against 100% of RoutineFactory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remember The Milk ships an update every 3 months, RoutineFactory every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
