Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hi) at 5.0 against ODD Ball's 3.9. Hi) also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). ODD Ball's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 12%) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hi) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ODD Ball has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Hi)'s written reviews are positive against 52% of ODD Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hi) ships an update every 5 months, ODD Ball every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
