ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hop Swap holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hop Swap has 142 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Hop Swap's written reviews are positive against 80% of MoriArashi'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, MoriArashi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
