ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Booster Up! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Booster Up! has 17K ratings behind it against 313, 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 19% of Booster Up!'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, Booster Up! weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
