# Cross vs Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter

The clearest difference is rating: Cross at 4.7 against Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter's 4.3. Cross also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 7). Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cross sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cross holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cross has 6.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Cross's written reviews are positive against 80% of Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cross ships an update fortnightly, Bad Wolf! Bubble Shooter every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
