ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Opp Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Opp Ball has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Ski Three's written reviews are positive against 9% of Opp Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ski Three ships an update every 3 months, Opp Ball every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
