Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Playing with at 3.2 against 探花's 1.0. 探花's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (14% vs 5%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 探花 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Playing with sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Playing with holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of 探花's written reviews are positive against 5% of Playing with's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

探花 ships an update every 5 days, Playing with every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
