The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game at 88% against Angry Birds Journey's 48%. Angry Birds Journey's advantage is ratings volume (160K vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Angry Birds Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Angry Birds Journey has 160K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game's written reviews are positive against 48% of Angry Birds Journey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game ships an update monthly, Angry Birds Journey every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
