Verdict

The call

RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™ and Zookemon both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™'s written reviews are positive against 55% of Zookemon's. Zookemon's advantage is iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Zookemon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 87K and 46K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of RollerCoaster Tycoon® Touch™'s written reviews are positive against 55% of Zookemon'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 weekly, Zookemon fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
