ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anotem holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Iris ID has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Anotem's written reviews are positive against 33% of Iris ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anotem ships an update monthly, Iris ID every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
