ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Punch TV holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Punch TV's written reviews are positive against 76% of Things That Go Bump by Tinybop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Punch TV ships an update every 10 days, Things That Go Bump by Tinybop every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
