Bubbles Popper 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Bubbles Popper 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Glowing Spheres's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubbles Popper 2 ships an update every 10 months, Glowing Spheres every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
