Blobsbuster holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blobsbuster has 7.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cross Virus's written reviews are positive against 16% of Blobsbuster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cross Virus ships an update every 26 months, Blobsbuster weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
