ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LIVALL Riding holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LIVALL Riding has 58 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of LIVALL Riding's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pinion Smart.Shift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LIVALL Riding ships an update every 3 weeks, Pinion Smart.Shift every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
