ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Carousel Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Max Drilling has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Carousel Mobile's written reviews are positive against 63% of Max Drilling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Carousel Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Max Drilling every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on July 2, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
