ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animal Camera 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animal Camera 3D has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Animal Camera 3D's written reviews are positive against 67% of Cyclops AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Animal Camera 3D ships an update every 7 months, Cyclops AR monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
