ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myCadillac holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myCadillac has 166K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of myCadillac's written reviews are positive against 71% of M1 Touch Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myCadillac ships an update fortnightly, M1 Touch Cloud every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
