ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fighter Pilot holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fighter Pilot has 3K ratings behind it against 315, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Space Rocket Exploration's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fighter Pilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Space Rocket Exploration ships an update monthly, Fighter Pilot every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
