ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fun Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 244 and 355 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Emoji Studio's written reviews are positive against 65% of Fun Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Emoji Studio ships an update every 10 days, Fun Widgets weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
