ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tekno/Teksta Kitty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PeTalk has 445 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of PeTalk's written reviews are positive against 20% of Tekno/Teksta Kitty's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PeTalk ships an update every 4 months, Tekno/Teksta Kitty every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
