ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HorizonWebRef.com holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HorizonWebRef.com has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of HorizonWebRef.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Book My Official (BMO)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HorizonWebRef.com ships an update every 2 weeks, Book My Official (BMO) every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
