ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bingo Card Builder holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop has 566 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bingo Card Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop ships an update monthly, Bingo Card Builder every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
