# Action Bowling vs Super Waves

The clearest difference is update cadence: Action Bowling at every 3 months against Super Waves's every 68 months. Action Bowling also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 15) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Action Bowling sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Super Waves sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Action Bowling holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Action Bowling has 1.6K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Action Bowling's written reviews are positive against 75% of Super Waves's.

Action Bowling ships an update every 3 months, Super Waves every 68 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
