ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MacMagazine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacMagazine has 151 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of iHelp BR's written reviews are positive against 79% of MacMagazine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iHelp BR ships an update every 5 months, MacMagazine every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
