Verdict

The call

Fawesome and Shiver both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Shiver's written reviews are positive against 43% of Fawesome's. Shiver also leads on ads (none vs shown). Fawesome's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fawesome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fawesome has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Fawesome's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shiver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fawesome ships an update weekly, Shiver every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
