# Hurricane Outbreak vs Dummynation

The clearest difference is rating: Hurricane Outbreak at 4.4 against Dummynation's 3.9. Hurricane Outbreak also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Dummynation's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 48%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hurricane Outbreak sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dummynation sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hurricane Outbreak holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.7K and 3.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Hurricane Outbreak's written reviews are positive against 61% of Dummynation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hurricane Outbreak ships an update every 9 days, Dummynation every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
