# Floaty Hamster vs PoBo World

The clearest difference is rating: PoBo World at 5.0 against Floaty Hamster's 3.0. PoBo World also leads on ads (none vs shown). Floaty Hamster's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 31 months) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Floaty Hamster sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and PoBo World sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PoBo World holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Floaty Hamster's written reviews are positive against 96% of PoBo World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Floaty Hamster ships an update monthly, PoBo World every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
