ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simon's Cat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simon's Cat has 31K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of mimic + lite's written reviews are positive against 62% of Simon's Cat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

mimic + lite ships an update every 7 months, Simon's Cat every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
