ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Bust! 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Bust! 2 has 918 ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Bubble Mania!'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Bubble Bust! 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Mania! ships an update every 2 months, Bubble Bust! 2 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
