ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Eureka holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eureka has 510 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Critter Panic!'s written reviews are positive against 77% of Eureka's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Critter Panic! ships an update every 3 months, Eureka every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
