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.

Curlytics lets you track curling statistics and draws - for yourself, or your team! Curlytics was designed to be simple yet comprehensive - as a curler interested in my own statistics, I wanted to make data entry fast enough to be usable on-ice without affecting pace of play*, yet also fully featured enough to be a usable tool to track progress and identify areas of improvement. Features include: - Shot and draw tracking (for individuals - team tracking is available with Curlytics Premium) - Watch integration - track your progress midgame on your wrist, with a few simple taps, and view it in the app later - Advanced stats tracking and sorting - Curlytics allows you to explore your shot data, filtering by type, difficulty, handle, position played, and more, in order to identify areas for improvement - Progress graphing - Curlytics allows you to visually explore and track your (or your team's) progress over time, all sortable/filterable by the above categories Thanks for using Curlytics, and good curling! *Note: in the spirit of curling, if you plan on using Curlytics on ice, please make sure the other team is okay with it :) Terms of Use for Curlytics can be found at: https://cypressapplications.com/terms

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Curlytics at 4.2 against CurlingSimulator's 2.0. Curlytics also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). CurlingSimulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Curlytics holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Curlytics has 5 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 50% of Curlytics'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, Curlytics every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
