Squooji

Squooji is a calm, physics-based emoji canvas for toddlers. Tap an emoji from the picker and it floats onto the screen. Add more and they gently push each other around, settling into clusters. Hold your finger on the canvas and they drift toward it. Tap any emoji to pop it. Pinch to clear everything at once. Add enough fish and the screen turns into an ocean. Gather stars and you're floating in space. Five different worlds emerge naturally from play—each with its own colors and physics. There are no levels, no scores, no sounds. Simply a clear canvas and 100+ familiar emojis. Supports fine motor development: Small touch targets encourage accurate tapping over swiping. Pinch, drag, and tap gestures build coordination through play. Parents can join in: Try prompts like "find all the animals" or "pop the yellow ones." Or build scenes together: create a farm, make an ocean, grow a garden. - Designed to be calm and non-stimulating - Works offline - No ads, no tracking. - Great for ages 2-5.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Squooji at none against GMA Play's shown. Squooji also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
