ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ING Netherlands holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ING Netherlands has 5.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ING Netherlands's written reviews are positive against 79% of Falco's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
