Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iLoveFireworks at 5.0 against Fireworks Tap's 4.6. iLoveFireworks also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Fireworks Tap's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 4) and chart position (#174 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iLoveFireworks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fireworks Tap has 99 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of iLoveFireworks's written reviews are positive against 83% of Fireworks Tap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iLoveFireworks ships an update every 3 months, Fireworks Tap every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
