Curling is a sport in which heavy granite stones are slid across a sheet of ice toward a target. The sport is played between two teams, each consisting of four players who all take turns delivering the stones. Curling was first played in medieval Scotland, and is now an Olympic sport. Curling is often referred to as "chess on ice", because in addition to the physical aspects of the sport, the strategy of placement of the stones is extremely important. The CurlingSimulator is a simulator of the sport for the iPhone and iPad. Players can plan their shots and deliver the stones either automatically or manually. Either team can be setup as a computer opponent. The level of difficulty for human players can be set to a variety of levels, which allows for competitive play at all different skill levels. The computer players can also be handicapped by reducing their skill level or their strategic thinking. Either a game can be played, or a single shot can be setup by placing stones in the field of play. The performance of the game is based on real physics. If desired, the user can experiment by changing the physical constants that affect the game.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Team Canada Olympic App at 4.8 against CurlingSimulator's 2.0. Team Canada Olympic App also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (368 vs 1). CurlingSimulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 49%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Team Canada Olympic App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Team Canada Olympic App has 368 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of CurlingSimulator's written reviews are positive against 49% of Team Canada Olympic App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CurlingSimulator ships an update every 34 months, Team Canada Olympic App every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
