ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

V380 holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 has 994 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of mCamView Z Plus's written reviews are positive against 15% of V380's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
