ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Event Wizard AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Badoo Premium has 2.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Badoo Premium's written reviews are positive against 0% of Event Wizard AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Badoo Premium ships an update weekly, Event Wizard AR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
