TAPP
Read full descriptionHide full description
Test your tap speed. Challenge your reflexes. Beat your personal best in quick games and climb the world and country rankings. CLASSIC Tap as many times as you can in 30 seconds. DODGE Tap the target before its time runs out. It gets faster with every hit. Tap anywhere else, or too late, and the run ends. REACTION Five rounds. Tap as soon as the signal appears; tap too early and that round is replayed. See your average, fastest and slowest times in milliseconds. Reaction measures your own reaction time and is not ranked. SPOT ON (NEW) Six kinds of shape (star, triangle, circle, square, plus and heart) appear filled or outlined. Tap only the filled shape shown on the card and ignore everything else, including outlined versions of the same shape. You start with three kinds and more join as you go. The rule always changes only after a warning. Three lives. Speed and accuracy decide your score. WAKE UP (IPHONE, iOS 26 OR LATER) When your TAPP alarm rings, wake up with a short game. The iPhone's Stop button always works. One alarm with Dodge at Standard difficulty is free. TAPP Pro adds up to three alarms, different times on different days, Classic, Reaction or Spot On rounds, and Easy or Hard difficulty. Wake Up needs alarm permission. WORLD AND COUNTRY RANKINGS Classic and Dodge have today, this week and all-time boards; Spot On has an all-time board; TAPP Points has this week and all-time. Each one is worldwide and for your country, and shows how far you are from the player just above you. FAIR PLAY Ranked scores are calculated and checked on our servers from what you played. Unusual results may not appear on the rankings. TAPP POINTS Earn points for your first game of the day, for playing three games, for new personal bests in Classic, Dodge and Spot On, and for playing on consecutive days. YOUR ACCOUNT Play straight away with no sign-up. Save your account with Sign in with Apple or a one-time code sent to your email, and keep your scores, bests and points when you change phones.

Looplight
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hold the left or right side of the screen to curl. Let go to fly straight. Close a loop around the gold to catch everything inside it. That's Looplight: a one-finger arcade game that takes seconds to learn and a long time to put down. LOOP THE GOLD Draw a loop around a cluster of gold and catch it all at once. The more gold in one loop, the bigger the score: doubles, triples, all the way up to eight in a single loop. NEVER TOUCH RED Gold doesn't wait forever. Leave it too long and it turns into a red thorn. Weave between the thorns, or loop them to clear the way. 40 HANDCRAFTED STAGES Four worlds, Dawn, Dusk, Night and Aurora, each with its own goals: catch streaks, giant loops, thorn harvests, nova chains and survival runs. Clear a stage to unlock the next one and earn up to three stars. ENDLESS AND DAILY Play Endless to beat your best score, or take on the Daily run: a new run every day that is the same for every player in the world. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Finish a run and share a challenge code. Your friends play your exact run, with the same gold at the same moments, and try to beat your score. PLAY YOUR WAY Choose how you steer: follow the screen, touch to steer with one finger, or classic. Swap sides for left-handed play, pick a Relaxed difficulty and choose your trail colour. GAME CENTER Compare your best scores with friends and players around the world on Game Center leaderboards. MADE TO FEEL GOOD Crisp haptics, punchy sound effects and smooth play on iPhone and iPad. Pause anytime; the game also pauses when you leave it. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. One finger and one more run.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Looplight at none against TAPP's 5. Looplight also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
