Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bear at 64% against Locknload's 50%. Locknload's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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. Locknload sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bear sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Locknload holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 73 and 50 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Locknload's written reviews are positive against 64% of Bear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Locknload ships an update weekly, Bear fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
