Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Worm World at 5.0 against Book's 4.4. Worm World also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). Book's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (272 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Worm World asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Worm World holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book has 272 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Worm World's written reviews are positive against 70% of Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Worm World ships an update every 31 months, Book every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
