ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ProTA Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CandleStick Chart&Pattern Lite has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of CandleStick Chart&Pattern Lite's written reviews are positive against 0% of ProTA Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CandleStick Chart&Pattern Lite ships an update every 5 months, ProTA Mobile every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
