ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Grumpy Bears holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grumpy Bears has 350 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Doodle Nuke's written reviews are positive against 83% of Grumpy Bears's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Doodle Nuke ships an update every 10 days, Grumpy Bears weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
