ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Popcorn Inc holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Popcorn Inc has 266 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Happy Corn's written reviews are positive against 14% of Popcorn Inc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Happy Corn ships an update fortnightly, Popcorn Inc every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
