ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Phantom App has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Bubble's written reviews are positive against 14% of The Phantom App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble ships an update every 2 weeks, The Phantom App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
