ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Meow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meow has 9.3K 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 48% of Meow'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, Meow every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
