Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flows at 75% against TXT App Phone Now's 20%. Flows also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). TXT App Phone Now's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (12K vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TXT App Phone Now holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TXT App Phone Now has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Flows's written reviews are positive against 20% of TXT App Phone Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flows ships an update every 3 months, TXT App Phone Now every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
