ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Popcorn Pop! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Popcorn Pop! has 2.7K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Popcorn Chef 2's written reviews are positive against 48% of Popcorn Pop!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Popcorn Chef 2 ships an update every 2 weeks, Popcorn Pop! every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
