ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Home Behind Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marooned has 119 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Home Behind Lite's written reviews are positive against 77% of Marooned's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Home Behind Lite ships an update every 11 days, Marooned monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
