ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ice Cert Engines holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VCE Simulator has 29 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of VCE Simulator's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ice Cert Engines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VCE Simulator ships an update every 5 months, Ice Cert Engines every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
