ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiny Story 4 Adventure holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paul Pixel has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Paul Pixel's written reviews are positive against 0% of Tiny Story 4 Adventure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paul Pixel ships an update every 4 months, Tiny Story 4 Adventure every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
