Catalyst Edit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catalyst Edit has 262 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Catalyst Edit's written reviews are positive against 33% of Arena 2000's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Catalyst Edit ships an update monthly, Arena 2000 every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
