ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WEILAN holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EyeTV has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of EyeTV's written reviews are positive against 0% of WEILAN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EyeTV ships an update every 3 months, WEILAN daily. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
