Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Photon Mobile at 80% against Aesthetic Record EMR's 20%. Photon Mobile also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). Aesthetic Record EMR's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aesthetic Record EMR holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aesthetic Record EMR has 4.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Photon Mobile's written reviews are positive against 20% of Aesthetic Record EMR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Photon Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Aesthetic Record EMR every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
