ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OCBC Malaysia holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCBC Malaysia has 105 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of OCBC Malaysia's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vircle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OCBC Malaysia ships an update monthly, Vircle every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
