ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StepWorld holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedora has 61 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of StepWorld's written reviews are positive against 65% of Pedora's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StepWorld ships an update every 2 months, Pedora monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
