ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hungry Worm holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Worm has 609 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Hungry Worm's written reviews are positive against 51% of Plonky's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hungry Worm ships an update every 9 days, Plonky every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
