# Hungry Shark Evolution vs Tasty Blue

The clearest difference is rating: Hungry Shark Evolution at 4.7 against Tasty Blue's 3.8. Hungry Shark Evolution also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (201K vs 1.1K). Tasty Blue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hungry Shark Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tasty Blue sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hungry Shark Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Shark Evolution has 201K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Hungry Shark Evolution's written reviews are positive against 54% of Tasty Blue's.

Hungry Shark Evolution ships an update fortnightly, Tasty Blue every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
