ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DoD holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoD has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of DoD's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pilipala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DoD ships an update fortnightly, Pilipala weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
