Bubbles Salons holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 75% of CellBadge's written reviews are positive against 50% of Bubbles Salons's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CellBadge ships an update every 14 months, Bubbles Salons monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
