ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TesScreen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: aHomeIcon has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of aHomeIcon's written reviews are positive against 50% of TesScreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

aHomeIcon ships an update every 2 months, TesScreen every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
