ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bear Bakery holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 229 and 541 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cat Forest's written reviews are positive against 57% of Bear Bakery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cat Forest ships an update every 11 days, Bear Bakery weekly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
