ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spark holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vice Locker has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Spark's written reviews are positive against 75% of Vice Locker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spark ships an update every 2 days, Vice Locker every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
