Lightning In A Bottle holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightning In A Bottle has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Lightning In A Bottle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Proper NYE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lightning In A Bottle ships an update every 5 months, Proper NYE every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
