ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snacks Claw holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Limp Zoo has 245 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Limp Zoo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Snacks Claw's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Limp Zoo ships an update every 2 months, Snacks Claw every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
