ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Helix Jump+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helix Jump+ has 13K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of SP!NG's written reviews are positive against 77% of Helix Jump+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
