Can’t find difference is there’s nothing to compare. ### 4/5 — Wonderful game, small difficulty in using. *2026-05-27, version 3.0.2* My phone has a small otherwise completely unnoticeable crack in the screen cover, I’ve never noticed it before this game but I cannot get used to it and keep picking it as a difference. I’m not sure how many points this loses me but it is annoying again and again. ### 4/5 — Relaxing Game *2026-04-19, version 3.0.2* I’m enjoying this game very much. It’s a great way to wind down from the day between the easy on the eye graphics and calming music. I enjoy the little tales before each round as well. Unfortunately the game crashes often-specifically level 36. Any time I try to go into that round it completely closes the game. I’ve moved on and up to level 43, but after each round, it still tries to have me complete level 36. Hoping it’s an easy bug fix! ### 2/5 — Could be better *2026-03-25, version 3.0.2* At a base level the game is alright. The user interface is quite slow and the tutorial is a bit annoying, I don’t think you should force the player to use a hint if they do not want to. The biggest disappointment is the use of visual ai, it’s obvious and frankly tacky. The idea of the intro’s to the levels art fine but the execution is bad. I personally don’t really like them and I would much rather skip them, I am not interested so a skip option would be wonderful. ### 3/5 — White characters only? *2026-03-21, version 3.0.2* Could do without the characters at the beginning of each level all together. But if they’re going to be there, why are they all white people?? Cmonnnnnn ### 2/5 — AI video starts the game? *2026-03-09, version 3.0.2* seems super cute but the first thing when you open the app is an atrocious AI video. If that little care is put into the first impression, what does that say about the developers? ### 3/5 — What's up with we weird characters now?? *2026-02-10, version 3.0.1* Have enjoyed this game for about a year and a half now the graphics are really nice. I wasn't sure if the sets were designed with AI, I hope not. But after this latest update now there's dumb AI characters popping up at the beginning of every new level for no reason? They are clearly AI designed, and don't match the cool aesthetic of the game. It's tacky and annoying. Suggestions: 1. Make seeing these characters optional 2. Have an optional timed mode. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-01-28, version 3.0* Fun game and challenging but after last update level 36 radar the bottom view disappears as soon as you try to start so cant get past it, even deleted and redownloaded so had to start from beginning again and still same issue. ### 4/5 — アップデートで可愛い感じに *2026-01-10* 終盤は広いルームの細かい差異でヒントを多用。でも143レベルを解いても最後のレベルに進まず、リセットされて1に。アップデートのタイミングが私にとって良くなかったけど、可愛いキャラクターの手書きの手紙など楽しめる要素が増えたから良い感じ。購入したアイテムなどの管理や、ヒントの残数が常に確認できる手段が欲しい。(他のアプリもアップデートで少々変化が有り、購入アイテムを復元する必要があったので。) ### 2/5 — Iron crosses *2025-12-31, version 2.2.5* Fun game. But WEIRD amount of iron crosses. Which is more than one. Not sure why that would be in use at all ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-06-05, version 2.2.5* Don’t waste your time. The game constantly crashes right when you find the final difference, then restarts on a different picture, all without giving you a score on your game before the crash. And to make matters worse, ADS, ADS, ADS, ADS, ADS, AND MORE ADS. this game is just a frustrating and colossal waste of time. Just awful. 👎 ### 2/5 — Constant Crashing *2025-05-12, version 2.2.5* Every time you complete a level, the app crashes. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even rebooting my device to no avail. Great game otherwise ### 3/5 — Fun but keeps crashing *2025-05-11, version 2.2.5* The game keeps crashing when finding the last difference. That’s in the level with the mountains and air balloons. iphone 14 pro with latest iOS. I deleted and redownloaded the app and I have to start from the beginning. ### 1/5 — Баг (bug) *2025-04-14* Я купил полную версию игры, прошел все уровни, но мне до сих пор не открывается последний уровень с пожаром. Помогите, такое надо надо исправлять. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2026-08-07, version 3.0.2* Loved this game for so long but then they added ai slop all over it and it really ruins the experience :( ### 1/5 — There are ads so don’t believe the reviews *2026-08-04, version 3.0.2* Title says it all ### 1/5 — Terrible selfish update *2026-04-02, version 3.0.2* All my previous levels are now inaccessible unless I pay $8 to unlock them. Filled with terrible AI generated ads ### 1/5 — Ai art *2026-03-21, version 3.0.2* Not as good a it looks ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad mini *2026-02-15, version 3.0.1* Pinching / tapping doesn’t work. Can’t even complete the first step of the tutorial ### 1/5 — One for using AI to create imagery *2026-01-25, version 3.0* One for using AI to create imagery ### 1/5 — ai slop *2026-01-09, version 3.0* low quality app made with ai. get real artists or maybe have real skills ### 1/5 — Déçue *2025-09-28* Toujours plus de pub ! ### 1/5 — Can’t get past tutorial *2025-08-20, version 2.2.5* I can’t get past the first step of the tutorial. Disappointing and frustrating. I’m happy that I didn’t waste money on this game. ### 1/5 — What a disappointment *2025-08-09, version 2.2.5* Very sad about this game. I can’t get past the tutorial on any device. When I try to touch the third difference, the game crashes. I’ve tried 3 different devices, all are updated and have plenty of memory. The developers other game works fine but this one does not. :-( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — رسومات جميلة جداً *2026-06-14, version 3.0.2* اتمنى جزء جديد مه هذه الرسومات والافكار الرائعة ### 5/5 — Surprisingly heartwarming! *2026-02-28, version 3.0.1* I just wanted a find the difference game and found the sweetest storyline! ### 5/5 — LOVE *2025-11-08, version 2.2.5* This is so good. The ambient music is so good and calming. It’s great to actually be using my brain instead of mindless scrolling. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-10-14, version 2.2.5* Love the graphics and slightly difficult puzzles. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-09-05, version 2.2.5* This is really fun. It’s simple and doesn’t have some ticking clock. The images are easy on the eye and make this game even more enjoyable. I was playing this on an iPad mini for a little while and that’s the smallest screen I think I could work with, but now I’m on an iPad Air and it’s a game changer. It gets increasingly harder to spot the differences as you play more levels and there are dozens of levels. I don’t know if this listing mentions how far it goes but I still haven’t found the end. I like how you can go back and play old levels and even move forward to future levels but you might lose your progress if you leave a level before completing it…you will lose the differences you’ve found if you close the app but it will save your progress as far as completions. They have other games and apps to experience if you like the style of this game. I downloaded them all but haven’t really explored them yet. Overall I say ten outta ten. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2025-01-03, version 2.2.5* I have both games, but this one is beautiful and i like the music more. Gorgeous colours. Makes me feel good. ### 5/5 — Great stress relief!🙂 *2024-12-27, version 2.2.5* I have ADHD and this is one of those things that just soothe me and also at the same time it keeps my mind sharp with the puzzles!👍❤️ ### 5/5 — Hideaways review *2024-12-24, version 2.2.5* Hideaways is very relaxing and makes me calm ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-05-11, version 2.2.5* Hands down the best spot the difference game I’ve ever played. Amazing ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso! *2024-02-17* Os gráficos são maravilhosos! Muito bonito e relaxante! A jogabilidade muito fluida e bem feita. Só um pouquinho triste pois deve ser difícil para daltônicos jogar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
