Do you remember the time, when you last had fun with soap bubbles? Now you can do this just using your device — and it's better than ever. AR Bubble is an augmented reality app that lets you blow, float, and pop virtual bubbles over your real world. Watch them shimmer with iridescent rainbow colors as they drift through the air, carried by gentle virtual wind currents. **Tap** on the screen to start bubbling — or use it like a real soap bubble gadget by **blowing into the microphone**. A live blow meter shows your breath strength in real time. **Tap a bubble** to pop it with a satisfying particle burst explosion and haptic feedback. **Long-press** to create a giant bubble that floats longer and farther. Each bubble is unique — random sizes, shimmering color shifts, gentle wobbles, and subtle breathing animations make them feel alive. Wind shifts every few seconds, so your bubbles drift naturally through the room. This app was designed and made for children. Parents might like it as well… **What's New in v2.0:** • Iridescent rainbow shimmer on every bubble • Tap-to-pop with particle burst effects & haptic feedback • Long-press to blow giant bubbles • Live blow strength indicator • Dynamic wind simulation for natural drift • Enhanced bubble physics — wobble, pulse & fade animations • Modernized for the latest iOS devices • Removed all ads for a clean, distraction-free experience (For best results, give the app a few seconds to warm up by scanning your environment in different directions. AR Bubble requires a device with ARKit support.)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hello History at 4.6 against AR Bubble's 4.0. Hello History also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 43 months) and ratings volume (938 vs 4). AR Bubble's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and monetization model (free vs subscription). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hello History holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hello History has 938 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of AR Bubble's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hello History's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AR Bubble ships an update every 43 months, Hello History every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
