ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nuke Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nuke Simulator has 1K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of micro by THIX's written reviews are positive against 51% of Nuke Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

micro by THIX ships an update every 10 months, Nuke Simulator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
