ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BluSKY holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dwellingLIVE has 641 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of dwellingLIVE's written reviews are positive against 0% of BluSKY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

dwellingLIVE ships an update every 3 months, BluSKY every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
