ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PewPew Live holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PewPew Live has 64 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Robots On's written reviews are positive against 74% of PewPew Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Robots On ships an update every 31 months, PewPew Live every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
