ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Reverse Audio Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reverse Audio Recorder has 203 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Reverse Music Player Pro's written reviews are positive against 56% of Reverse Audio Recorder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Reverse Music Player Pro ships an update every 36 months, Reverse Audio Recorder every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
