ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bowmasters holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bowmasters has 1.9M ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Bowmasters's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hero Archer 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bowmasters ships an update fortnightly, Hero Archer 3D monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
