Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hover Dog 3D at 100% against Tape Thrower's 58%. Hover Dog 3D also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Tape Thrower's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 12) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tape Thrower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tape Thrower has 35K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Hover Dog 3D's written reviews are positive against 58% of Tape Thrower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hover Dog 3D ships an update every 2 months, Tape Thrower every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
