ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paper Bad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper Bad has 373 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Paper Bad's written reviews are positive against 60% of Synonym Swap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paper Bad ships an update every 2 weeks, Synonym Swap every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
