Comal Next Door holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BerkeleyBowl has 225 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of BerkeleyBowl's written reviews are positive against 0% of Comal Next Door's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BerkeleyBowl ships an update every 2 months, Comal Next Door every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
