ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rheem holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rheem has 1.7K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of VisualSupport's written reviews are positive against 43% of Rheem's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VisualSupport ships an update every 3 months, Rheem monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
