ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

kirakira+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: kirakira+ has 11K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of kirakira+'s written reviews are positive against 40% of Glitter Sparkle Light Effects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

kirakira+ ships an update every 9 days, Glitter Sparkle Light Effects every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
