Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Learn 2 Fly at 4.7 against Digger Machine's 4.5. Learn 2 Fly also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 351). Digger Machine's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Digger Machine sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Learn 2 Fly sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Learn 2 Fly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn 2 Fly has 11K ratings behind it against 351, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Digger Machine's written reviews are positive against 60% of Learn 2 Fly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
