Palm holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere has 459 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere's written reviews are positive against 50% of Palm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere ships an update every 2 months, Palm daily. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
