ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Devolver Tumble Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devolver Tumble Time has 923 ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Hop Swap's written reviews are positive against 56% of Devolver Tumble Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hop Swap ships an update monthly, Devolver Tumble Time fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
