Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Autofire at 4.8 against Frogger Retro Time's 4.3. Mr Autofire also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (28K vs 794). Frogger Retro Time's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mr Autofire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Autofire has 28K ratings behind it against 794, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Frogger Retro Time's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mr Autofire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Frogger Retro Time ships an update monthly, Mr Autofire weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
