ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dog's Kitchen holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog's Kitchen has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Dog's Kitchen's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blinking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dog's Kitchen ships an update fortnightly, Blinking every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
