Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Angeldust at Free against 9th Dawn II's $1.99. Angeldust also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.8). 9th Dawn II's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (77 vs 8). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Angeldust holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 9th Dawn II has 77 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Angeldust's written reviews are positive against 69% of 9th Dawn II's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Angeldust ships an update every 2 months, 9th Dawn II every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
