ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text & Fly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text & Fly has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Face Draw's written reviews are positive against 50% of Text & Fly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Face Draw ships an update every 2 days, Text & Fly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
