ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SnapHockey holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapHockey has 75 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of XLR8's written reviews are positive against 92% of SnapHockey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

XLR8 ships an update every 11 months, SnapHockey monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
