ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lee and Maria's holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LCBO has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of LCBO's written reviews are positive against 0% of Lee and Maria's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LCBO ships an update every 2 months, Lee and Maria's every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
