ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multiply or die holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multiply or die has 2.8K 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 17% of Multiply or die's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cross Virus ships an update every 26 months, Multiply or die every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
