ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Locky holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locky has 505 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Locky's written reviews are positive against 100% of App Update Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Locky ships an update every 2 months, App Update Access every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
