ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dog Date Afternoon holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog Date Afternoon has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Dog Date Afternoon's written reviews are positive against 100% of YourScene's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dog Date Afternoon ships an update every 5 days, YourScene weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
