ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AudioVerse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AudioVerse has 398 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of AudioVerse's written reviews are positive against 100% of IAMSWAU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AudioVerse ships an update every 5 weeks, IAMSWAU every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
