ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BLEASS Monolit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BLEASS Monolit has 82 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Dropophone's written reviews are positive against 83% of BLEASS Monolit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dropophone ships an update every 67 months, BLEASS Monolit every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
