ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Armasight holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistic has 54 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Ballistic's written reviews are positive against 50% of Armasight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
