Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Dr. Seuss's ABC costs $3.99 and Transformers Rescue Bots $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Transformers Rescue Bots holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dr. Seuss's ABC has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Dr. Seuss's ABC's written reviews are positive against 35% of Transformers Rescue Bots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dr. Seuss's ABC ships an update every 12 months, Transformers Rescue Bots every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
