Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Fling! 2 at every 9 days against Flow Free's every 7 months. Fling! 2 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 85) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fling! 2 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Flow Free sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flow Free holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 14K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Fling! 2's written reviews are positive against 82% of Flow Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fling! 2 ships an update every 9 days, Flow Free every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
