ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Simulator 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Rocket Exploration has 313 ratings behind it against 31, 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 0% of Space Simulator 3D'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, Space Simulator 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
