ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KleptoCats holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KleptoCats has 32K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of KleptoCats's written reviews are positive against 93% of James Spring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KleptoCats ships an update every 3 months, James Spring every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
