ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dex Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dex Camera has 160 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Gus on the Go's written reviews are positive against 70% of Dex Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gus on the Go ships an update every 7 months, Dex Camera every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
