Verdict

The call

Measure Mobile and ShawNow both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of ShawNow's written reviews are positive against 33% of Measure Mobile's. ShawNow also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Measure Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Measure Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Measure Mobile's written reviews are positive against 50% of ShawNow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Measure Mobile ships an update every 2 months, ShawNow every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
