ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Palmon holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22K and 40K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Fate War's written reviews are positive against 52% of Palmon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fate War ships an update every 9 days, Palmon weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
