ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Big Tap Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Tap Counter has 525 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Big Tap Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Counting App*'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Big Tap Counter ships an update weekly, Counting App* every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
