ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Naming Therapy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Naming Therapy has 370 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Naming Therapy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fluency Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Naming Therapy ships an update every 7 months, Fluency Calculator every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
