The rows about Catchup come from its own App Store listing, read in September 2026, and from its update date. I checked getcatchup.app myself on 24 September 2026 and the name does not resolve. Where a cell says Not stated, I could not confirm it without paying. Ratings, prices and update dates were checked again in the US App Store on 15 October 2026. Ciao!’s prices here are the euro ones. The App Store shows yours before you confirm. Nothing here is taken from another app’s reviews. The other app called CatchUp, by Ryan Token, is still going.

Where Catchup wins
- It is already on your phone, and if the reminders still arrive, nothing is broken today.
- 81 people rated it 4.3 in the US App Store, so it did the job while it was being made.
- Moving means typing your people in again. That is a real cost, and it is yours to weigh.
Where Ciao! wins
- It is still being made. The last update was in October 2026.
- An animal for each friend, so you can see at a glance who you haven’t talked to in a while.
- Your notes stay on your phone and in your own iCloud. There is no account, and I can’t read them.
What to do now
If it still works, you do not have to move today. Copy out the notes you want to keep first, whatever you decide: I could not find a way to export them without paying, so it is worth doing by hand before you delete anything.
Try it for a week. Then decide.
