POD Express Edit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POD Express Edit has 244 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of POD Express Edit's written reviews are positive against 71% of SONICLINK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
POD Express Edit ships an update every 6 weeks, SONICLINK every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
