ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ballpins holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disc Drivin' Lite has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Disc Drivin' Lite's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ballpins's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Disc Drivin' Lite ships an update every 3 months, Ballpins every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
