ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Virtual Reality Galaxy holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virtual Reality Galaxy has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Know Your USA's written reviews are positive against 55% of Virtual Reality Galaxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Know Your USA ships an update every 38 months, Virtual Reality Galaxy every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
