ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Star Trek Fleet Command holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Trek Fleet Command has 68K ratings behind it against 856, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of BattleAtSea's written reviews are positive against 28% of Star Trek Fleet Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BattleAtSea ships an update every 3 weeks, Star Trek Fleet Command every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
