ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wakeout! Workout & Dance Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wakeout! Workout & Dance Games has 8.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Wakeout! Workout & Dance Games's written reviews are positive against 80% of Marshmallows's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wakeout! Workout & Dance Games ships an update every 2 days, Marshmallows every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
