Prism Toy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8.

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