ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Talking Tom Time Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Tom Time Rush has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Save the Koala's written reviews are positive against 76% of Talking Tom Time Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Save the Koala ships an update monthly, Talking Tom Time Rush every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 8, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
