ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Horns and Sirens holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Horns and Sirens has 4.3K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Horns and Sirens's written reviews are positive against 63% of Megaphone!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Horns and Sirens ships an update every 2 months, Megaphone! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
