ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Random Royale holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Royale has 474 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Random Royale's written reviews are positive against 67% of Shroom Guard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Random Royale ships an update every 8 days, Shroom Guard weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
