ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Onsolve MIR3 holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlackBerry Work has 641 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of BlackBerry Work's written reviews are positive against 7% of Onsolve MIR3'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 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
