Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tap on Time! at 4.6 against Just Dance 2016's 2.3. Tap on Time! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (60K vs 8.1K). Just Dance 2016's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tap on Time! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tap on Time! has 60K ratings behind it against 8.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Just Dance 2016's written reviews are positive against 14% of Tap on Time!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Just Dance 2016 ships an update every 3 months, Tap on Time! fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
