ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Apodaca 1890 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NyxQuest has 59 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of NyxQuest's written reviews are positive against 75% of Apodaca 1890's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NyxQuest ships an update every 3 months, Apodaca 1890 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
