ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alt holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alt has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Alt's written reviews are positive against 89% of Took!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alt ships an update every 2 days, Took! every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
