Verdict

The call

Magic Reality and ScreenMagic both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ScreenMagic's written reviews are positive against 60% of Magic Reality's. ScreenMagic also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 2). Magic Reality's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magic Reality holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Magic Reality's written reviews are positive against 100% of ScreenMagic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magic Reality ships an update monthly, ScreenMagic every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
