ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Inside Out Thought Bubbles holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inside Out Thought Bubbles has 9.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Inside Out Thought Bubbles's written reviews are positive against 80% of Save the Koala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Inside Out Thought Bubbles ships an update fortnightly, Save the Koala monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
