Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ship Simulator at Free against iBomber's $2.99. Ship Simulator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (13K vs 24). iBomber's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (82% vs 49%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ship Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ship Simulator has 13K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of iBomber's written reviews are positive against 49% of Ship Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iBomber ships an update every 2 months, Ship Simulator every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
