ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Wendy’s against 4.7 for Tim Hortons. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wendy’s has 1.9M ratings behind it against 60K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Wendy’s's written reviews are positive against 46% of Tim Hortons's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wendy’s ships an update fortnightly, Tim Hortons every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
