ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rolly Vortex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolly Vortex has 305K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Rolly Vortex's written reviews are positive against 84% of Helix Color Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rolly Vortex ships an update every 4 months, Helix Color Ball weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
