ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tynker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tynker has 18K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Tynker's written reviews are positive against 80% of Kai's Eye Robot Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tynker ships an update every 3 weeks, Kai's Eye Robot Tracker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
