Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AirTurn Manager at 4.2 against Flic App's 2.8. AirTurn Manager also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Flic App's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 16%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Flic App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AirTurn Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.
AirTurn Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirTurn Manager has 1.3K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of AirTurn Manager's written reviews are positive against 29% of Flic App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AirTurn Manager ships an update every 2 months, Flic App monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
