# Eternal Ember vs Poké

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Eternal Ember against 5.0 for Poké. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eternal Ember has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Eternal Ember ships an update every 2 months, Poké every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
