ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NYSORA Nerve Blocks holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NYSORA Nerve Blocks has 1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of NYSORA Nerve Blocks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Datamede's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NYSORA Nerve Blocks ships an update weekly, Datamede every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
