ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monocular Enemy Avoid holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cally's Caves 3 has 132 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Cally's Caves 3's written reviews are positive against 75% of Monocular Enemy Avoid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cally's Caves 3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Monocular Enemy Avoid every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
