ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interpolator holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interpolator has 74 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Interpolator's written reviews are positive against 75% of TLV ToolBox'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 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
