ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Popcorn Inc holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Popcorn Inc has 265 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Popcorn Inc's written reviews are positive against 17% of 3D Printing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 6, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
