ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HS Player holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HS Player has 215 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of HS Player's written reviews are positive against 80% of MPx Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HS Player ships an update every 2 weeks, MPx Player every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
