Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Padel Chess holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Padel Chess has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Racket ID's written reviews are positive against 0% of Padel Chess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Racket ID ships an update fortnightly, Padel Chess every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
