ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

magicApp Calling & Messaging holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: magicApp Calling & Messaging has 26K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of magicApp Calling & Messaging's written reviews are positive against 100% of ipCourier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

magicApp Calling & Messaging ships an update fortnightly, ipCourier every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
