ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rice Fish AR/VR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iVRy has 153 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Rice Fish AR/VR's written reviews are positive against 72% of iVRy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rice Fish AR/VR ships an update every 5 months, iVRy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
