ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ex Astris holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ex Astris has 267 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Ex Astris's written reviews are positive against 100% of METRO QUESTER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ex Astris ships an update every 3 weeks, METRO QUESTER daily. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
