ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ナンプレ for 東方 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anomaly has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of ナンプレ for 東方's written reviews are positive against 100% of Anomaly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ナンプレ for 東方 ships an update every 110 months, Anomaly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
