ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

A Simple Task holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayD Chapter 1 has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of A Simple Task's written reviews are positive against 50% of DayD Chapter 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

A Simple Task ships an update every 20 months, DayD Chapter 1 every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
