ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JBD BMS holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JBD BMS has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of JBD BMS's written reviews are positive against 50% of Blue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JBD BMS ships an update every 3 weeks, Blue monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
