Strengths and weaknesses
Geometry Dash
- Cheap one-time price with no ads or extras
- Endless free player-made levels
- Privacy label says no data collected
- Difficulty spikes can be maddening
- Simple geometric art won't wow everyone
- Online levels need an internet connection
Geometry Dash looks simple: tap to jump, hold to fly, stay on the beat. Then a level ends you in seconds and you're hooked. The paid version has no ads or in-app purchases, plus a level editor, a platformer mode and a huge online library of levels made by other players. 2026 updates added platformer saving and death markers. It's brutally hard, which is exactly the point.

Fortnite
- Huge variety of modes in one free app
- Purchases are cosmetic, not pay-to-win
- Plays with friends on PC and console
- Touch aiming is harder than with a controller
- 4.5 GB download and heavy battery use
- Skins and passes add up fast
Fortnite is less one game than a whole lineup: Battle Royale, Zero Build for people who can't build, fast Reload matches, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival and thousands of creator-made islands. It's back on both the App Store and Google Play, and you can squad up with friends on PC and console. What you buy is cosmetic. Touch aiming takes practice, and it's a big download that wants a fairly recent phone.
