Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Battlegrounds .io at 4.7 against Farlight 84's 4.1. Battlegrounds .io also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Farlight 84's advantage is ratings volume (6.5K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Battlegrounds .io holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farlight 84 has 6.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Battlegrounds .io's written reviews are positive against 48% of Farlight 84's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Battlegrounds .io ships an update every 2 months, Farlight 84 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
