ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HashWatcher holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HashWatcher has 484 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FxBlox's written reviews are positive against 87% of HashWatcher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FxBlox ships an update every 6 days, HashWatcher weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
