Verdict

The call

Candy Show and Under the Deep Sea both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Candy Show's written reviews are positive against 63% of Under the Deep Sea's. Candy Show also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Show sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Under the Deep Sea sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Under the Deep Sea holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 497 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Candy Show's written reviews are positive against 63% of Under the Deep Sea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Candy Show ships an update every 2 months, Under the Deep Sea every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
