# Looking FWD vs Dayfall

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Looking FWD at 63% against Dayfall's 0%. Looking FWD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Dayfall's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looking FWD sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days and Dayfall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dayfall holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Looking FWD's written reviews are positive against 0% of Dayfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Looking FWD ships an update every 2 weeks, Dayfall monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
