ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Handstand Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handstand Quest has 87 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Handstand Quest's written reviews are positive against 100% of Go Upsidedown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Handstand Quest ships an update every 11 days, Go Upsidedown monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
