ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Identifier holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Identifier has 163 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Frog Spot's written reviews are positive against 0% of Identifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Frog Spot ships an update monthly, Identifier weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
