ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Equalizer & Bass Booster FX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Equalizer & Bass Booster FX has 3.2K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of HS Player's written reviews are positive against 14% of Equalizer & Bass Booster FX'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 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
