Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ntouch® at none against Hi There!!!'s 9. ntouch® also leads on ratings volume (507 vs 7) and rating (4.1 vs 3.9). Hi There!!!'s advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ntouch® holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ntouch® has 507 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of ntouch®'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Hi There!!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ntouch® ships an update every 2 months, Hi There!!! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
