Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ZeppGuide at 4.2 against Hearonymus's 2.6. ZeppGuide also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 25) and ratings volume (48 vs 7). Hearonymus's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ZeppGuide holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZeppGuide has 48 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Hearonymus's written reviews are positive against 7% of ZeppGuide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
