ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WW2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WW2 has 595 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of WW2's written reviews are positive against 80% of Second World War Western Front's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WW2 ships an update weekly, Second World War Western Front monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
