ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TownSq Community holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TownSq Community has 12K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of TownSq Community's written reviews are positive against 75% of CellBadge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TownSq Community ships an update every 2 weeks, CellBadge every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
