ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flash Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Studio has 6.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Flash Studio's written reviews are positive against 100% of Magic Jimmy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flash Studio ships an update fortnightly, Magic Jimmy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
