ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Taiga holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gecko has 55 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Taiga's written reviews are positive against 10% of Gecko's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Taiga ships an update monthly, Gecko every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
