ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

North Farm holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: North Farm has 279 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of SquirrelWarz's written reviews are positive against 44% of North Farm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SquirrelWarz ships an update every 2 months, North Farm every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
