ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TopInfrared holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TopInfrared has 52 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of TopInfrared's written reviews are positive against 67% of Kraken NextGen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TopInfrared ships an update every 3 weeks, Kraken NextGen every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
