Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Taster's at 4.1 against CorrLinks's 3.0. Taster's also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). CorrLinks's advantage is ratings volume (813 vs 8) and review sentiment (21% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Taster's holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CorrLinks has 813 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of CorrLinks's written reviews are positive against 0% of Taster's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CorrLinks ships an update fortnightly, Taster's every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
