Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OpenWav sells 24 one-off in-app purchases and STEREOPARK sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OpenWav against 5.0 for STEREOPARK. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenWav has 165 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
OpenWav ships an update every 9 days, STEREOPARK every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
