Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: I'm Fireworks Fun at 4.6 against Gesture Recognizer Fun's 1.0. I'm Fireworks Fun also leads on ratings volume (51 vs 1). Gesture Recognizer Fun's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
I'm Fireworks Fun holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: I'm Fireworks Fun has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Gesture Recognizer Fun's written reviews are positive against 94% of I'm Fireworks Fun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gesture Recognizer Fun ships an update every 5 months, I'm Fireworks Fun every 13 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
