Both are free to download. TackleBoxApp sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Flash Maker asks for nothing beyond the download.
TackleBoxApp holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Maker has 630 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Flash Maker's written reviews are positive against 0% of TackleBoxApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flash Maker ships an update monthly, TackleBoxApp every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
