Verdict

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OpenWav against 4.8 for Grammy One. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenWav has 165 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of OpenWav's written reviews are positive against 100% of Grammy One's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
