Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YOUdermoscopy at 4.6 against iDoc24's 3.3. YOUdermoscopy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). iDoc24's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YOUdermoscopy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YOUdermoscopy has 41 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of iDoc24's written reviews are positive against 54% of YOUdermoscopy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDoc24 ships an update every 6 weeks, YOUdermoscopy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
