ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Osmo Math Buzz holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Osmo Math Buzz has 143 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Cubelets Updater's written reviews are positive against 13% of Osmo Math Buzz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cubelets Updater ships an update every 6 months, Osmo Math Buzz every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
