ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Wizard School holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™ has 86K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™'s written reviews are positive against 55% of Idle Wizard School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™ ships an update every 5 days, Idle Wizard School every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
