ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aurora holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MidAmerican Energy has 3.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Aurora's written reviews are positive against 61% of MidAmerican Energy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
