Verdict
Big Hunter and Downhill Smash both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Big Hunter's written reviews are positive against 41% of Downhill Smash's. Downhill Smash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 5.6K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Big Hunter sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Downhill Smash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Downhill Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5.6K and 22K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Big Hunter's written reviews are positive against 41% of Downhill Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Big Hunter ships an update every 3 months, Downhill Smash every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
