ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RTY Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expiry Tracker has 147 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of RTY Lite's written reviews are positive against 79% of Expiry Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RTY Lite ships an update every 17 months, Expiry Tracker weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
