Start your experience by selecting the type of account you would like - anything from a beauty guru to a fitness model, or even a viral sensation. After the set up, you get 15 minutes to experience the life of a social media star! There's so much you can do: chat with your fans via your inbox; receive comments, likes and followers; and post your own photos to create a personalized feed. Once your time is up, you can start over with a different account type (each type provides a slightly different experience). The environment is completely controlled, and all of your data is safe, only ever stored on your own device (we do not store ANY data, including photos you upload, what you say to your "fans", search terms, profile data etc). We are not affiliated with any other social media platform. In fact, we are not a social media platform at all. This app is merely a parody on the concept of social media fame, and serves the purpose of educating people about how digital fame feels. We hope that after using our app, people will recognize that the important thing is not the number of likes they got, but the people they engaged with and the content they created. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fame Simulator at 62% against ScrollBack's 0%. Fame Simulator also leads on ratings volume (203 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). ScrollBack's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ScrollBack holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fame Simulator has 203 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Fame Simulator's written reviews are positive against 0% of ScrollBack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
