The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FlatZap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metadata Pro has 127 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Metadata Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of FlatZap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
