ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

healow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: healow has 737K ratings behind it against 9.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of healow's written reviews are positive against 41% of myPrivia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

healow ships an update monthly, myPrivia every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
