Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Bowling 3D+ at 4.7 against MySims™'s 4.1. My Bowling 3D+ also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 88). MySims™'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Bowling 3D+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Bowling 3D+ has 3.9K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of My Bowling 3D+'s written reviews are positive against 54% of MySims™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Bowling 3D+ ships an update every 6 months, MySims™ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
