Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tingus Goose at 4.8 against Stack Islands's 2.5. Tingus Goose also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Stack Islands's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 53%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tingus Goose holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tingus Goose has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Stack Islands's written reviews are positive against 53% of Tingus Goose's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stack Islands ships an update every 2 months, Tingus Goose fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
