ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Astra Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Astra Squad has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pal legends's written reviews are positive against 16% of Astra Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pal legends ships an update weekly, Astra Squad every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
