ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Liquid Apollo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liquid Apollo has 645 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Liquid Apollo's written reviews are positive against 100% of HemiSync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Liquid Apollo ships an update every 10 days, HemiSync every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
