DOODLE SQUARES is free to download; Bug Bomber costs $1.99 up front. DOODLE SQUARES sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Bug Bomber sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bug Bomber holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DOODLE SQUARES has 478 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of DOODLE SQUARES's written reviews are positive against 70% of Bug Bomber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DOODLE SQUARES ships an update every 2 months, Bug Bomber every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
