Audio+ (Formerly Hot FM) also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). Lyrix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 4). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lyrix holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lyrix has 7.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Audio+ (Formerly Hot FM)'s written reviews are positive against 13% of Lyrix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Audio+ (Formerly Hot FM) ships an update every 6 weeks, Lyrix every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
