ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Construction Simulator PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction Simulator PRO has 264 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Construction Simulator PRO's written reviews are positive against 71% of Quay Crane Commander's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Construction Simulator PRO ships an update fortnightly, Quay Crane Commander every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
