ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Big Button Box Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Button Box Lite has 458 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Big Button Box Lite's written reviews are positive against 75% of Honker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Big Button Box Lite ships an update every 5 months, Honker every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
