Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
friendness holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of friendness's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hangtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
friendness ships an update every 3 weeks, Hangtime every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
