ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ingenious Med holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ingenious Med has 3.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Ingenious Med's written reviews are positive against 33% of MCG Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ingenious Med ships an update every 5 weeks, MCG Mobile every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
