ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Galactic Merge Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galactic Merge Idle has 1.9K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Ski Jump's written reviews are positive against 8% of Galactic Merge Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ski Jump ships an update monthly, Galactic Merge Idle every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
