Verdict

The call

Spooksy and Forgotten X both sit at 3.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Forgotten X's written reviews are positive against 45% of Spooksy's. Forgotten X also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Spooksy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spooksy holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spooksy has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Spooksy's written reviews are positive against 97% of Forgotten X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spooksy ships an update every 2 months, Forgotten X fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
