ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wave Cloud Phone holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave Cloud Phone has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Stacked Deck's written reviews are positive against 15% of Wave Cloud Phone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stacked Deck ships an update every 6 months, Wave Cloud Phone every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 2, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
