ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Zoopolis holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zoopolis has 339 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Zoopolis's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shelem 165's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zoopolis ships an update every 2 months, Shelem 165 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
