ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ADMIS Apex Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CQG has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ADMIS Apex Mobile's written reviews are positive against 49% of CQG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ADMIS Apex Mobile ships an update every 2 months, CQG every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
