ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Art Pop! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathTango has 4.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Art Pop!'s written reviews are positive against 76% of MathTango's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
