ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thermal Effect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermal Effect has 155 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of BLE RSSI Meter's written reviews are positive against 22% of Thermal Effect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BLE RSSI Meter ships an update every 14 months, Thermal Effect daily. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
