# Just Dance 2016 vs Play Colors

The clearest difference is rating: Play Colors at 4.5 against Just Dance 2016's 2.3. Play Colors also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Just Dance 2016's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Play Colors sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Just Dance 2016 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Play Colors holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8.1K and 8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Just Dance 2016's written reviews are positive against 16% of Play Colors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Just Dance 2016 ships an update every 3 months, Play Colors every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
