Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Windmill Air holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Windmill Air has 4.4K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of BrookONLine's written reviews are positive against 28% of Windmill Air's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BrookONLine ships an update every 3 months, Windmill Air every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
