ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Touch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Itsy Bitsy Spider has 70 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Itsy Bitsy Spider's written reviews are positive against 65% of Video Touch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Itsy Bitsy Spider ships an update every 6 months, Video Touch monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
