ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StrideTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheGreatGame has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of TheGreatGame's written reviews are positive against 0% of StrideTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TheGreatGame ships an update every 3 weeks, StrideTV monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
