Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gesture Recognizer Fun at 100% against AR Dragon world's 48%. Gesture Recognizer Fun also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 25) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). AR Dragon world's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 1).

Both are free to download. AR Dragon world sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Gesture Recognizer Fun asks for nothing beyond the download.
AR Dragon world holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AR Dragon world has 3.8K 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 48% of AR Dragon world'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, AR Dragon world every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
