Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ARK at 4.4 against Harbi2's 3.7. ARK also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 3) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). Harbi2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ARK holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARK has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of ARK's written reviews are positive against 67% of Harbi2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ARK ships an update monthly, Harbi2 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
