Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Quantum Shift sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pew Zoom Boom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Quantum Shift holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quantum Shift has 586 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Quantum Shift's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pew Zoom Boom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quantum Shift ships an update every 5 days, Pew Zoom Boom every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
