OpenTyrian 2000 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTyrian 2000 has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Bomber for Watch's written reviews are positive against 82% of OpenTyrian 2000's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bomber for Watch ships an update every 19 months, OpenTyrian 2000 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
