Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Apollo Intense! Too at 80% against Rocket Sky!'s 17%. Apollo Intense! Too also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). Rocket Sky!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (108K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rocket Sky! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Sky! has 108K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Apollo Intense! Too's written reviews are positive against 17% of Rocket Sky!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
