ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sea Water Temperature holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sea Water Temperature has 76 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Splash°'s written reviews are positive against 17% of Sea Water Temperature's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Splash° ships an update every 13 months, Sea Water Temperature fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
