Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hungry Shark Evolution at 4.7 against Shark Simulator's 2.8. Hungry Shark Evolution also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (201K vs 4). Shark Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hungry Shark Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Shark Evolution has 201K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Hungry Shark Evolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shark Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hungry Shark Evolution ships an update fortnightly, Shark Simulator every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
