ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chiki's Chase holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chiki's Chase has 595 ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Kick the Man's written reviews are positive against 94% of Chiki's Chase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kick the Man ships an update every 3 weeks, Chiki's Chase monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
