# Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game vs Angry Birds Journey

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.

Both are free to download. Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Angry Birds Journey sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
