Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZEISS Hunting at none against AB Quantum's 4. ZEISS Hunting also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). AB Quantum's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AB Quantum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AB Quantum has 3K ratings behind it against 408, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of AB Quantum's written reviews are positive against 66% of ZEISS Hunting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AB Quantum ships an update fortnightly, ZEISS Hunting every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
