ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Find The Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find The Differences has 2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Five Differences Max Challenge's written reviews are positive against 43% of Find The Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Five Differences Max Challenge ships an update every 18 months, Find The Differences every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
