Colorbs holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colorbs has 53 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Colorbs's written reviews are positive against 67% of Save the Zacks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Colorbs ships an update every 3 months, Save the Zacks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
