Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crowd Fish 3D at 100% against Chess TD's 23%. Crowd Fish 3D also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Chess TD's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (854 vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chess TD holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess TD has 854 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Chess TD's written reviews are positive against 100% of Crowd Fish 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chess TD ships an update every 6 weeks, Crowd Fish 3D every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
