ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Prism Toy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prism Toy has 75 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Überdoodle's written reviews are positive against 50% of Prism Toy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Überdoodle ships an update every 3 months, Prism Toy monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
