ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Torpedo Strike holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SinkSub has 56 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of SinkSub's written reviews are positive against 55% of Torpedo Strike's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SinkSub ships an update every 11 months, Torpedo Strike every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
