ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

™ Easy Gomoku holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ™ Easy Gomoku has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of ™ Easy Gomoku's written reviews are positive against 55% of Gomoku Master!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

™ Easy Gomoku ships an update every 7 months, Gomoku Master! every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
