Magical Rays holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magical Rays has 206 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Magical Rays's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bubbles AR/MR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magical Rays ships an update every 8 months, Bubbles AR/MR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
