Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IPPON at 4.5 against Falling the Ball's 3.0. IPPON also leads on ratings volume (76 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Falling the Ball's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IPPON holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPPON has 76 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of IPPON's written reviews are positive against 100% of Falling the Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IPPON ships an update monthly, Falling the Ball every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
