Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Thermal Xplorer's written reviews are positive against 50% of NiteVision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thermal Xplorer ships an update every 5 weeks, NiteVision monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
