ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bocce 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bocce 3D has 221 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Petanque 2012 Pro's written reviews are positive against 39% of Bocce 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Petanque 2012 Pro ships an update every 20 months, Bocce 3D every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
