Launching a rocket is not an easy job. It must be done with perfect accuracy or consequences could be fatal. This requires tons of mathematical calculations... in real life. But in this game, you just need to tap the buttons in the right order and at a good angle so your rocket can be launched into the orbit safely. You can steer the rocket a bit by turning your device to the sides which may save you a few launch attempts. Good launching! ;)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Booster Up! at 4.6 against Rocket Launcher's 3.9. Booster Up! also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 46). Rocket Launcher's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 19%) and in-app purchases (none vs 14). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Booster Up! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Booster Up! has 17K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Rocket Launcher's written reviews are positive against 19% of Booster Up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rocket Launcher ships an update every 7 months, Booster Up! weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
