# Magic Bridge! vs Timberman

The clearest difference is rating: Timberman at 4.7 against Magic Bridge!'s 4.2. Timberman also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (990 vs 107). Magic Bridge!'s advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 56%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Bridge! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Timberman sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timberman holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timberman has 990 ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Magic Bridge!'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Timberman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magic Bridge! ships an update every 11 months, Timberman monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
