ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets has 30K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Make it Grow's written reviews are positive against 47% of Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Make it Grow ships an update every 9 days, Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
