ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hoop Stack Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hoop Stack Puzzle has 82 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Stack 8's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hoop Stack Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stack 8 ships an update every 5 months, Hoop Stack Puzzle every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
