Button Push! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Button Push! has 4.2K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Don't Push the Button's written reviews are positive against 20% of Button Push!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Don't Push the Button ships an update every 4 months, Button Push! weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 23, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
