Save your creations then keep returning to make your designs bigger, better and ever more intricate. The possibilities are endless!     Key features:   • Blocks: choose from building blocks, ramps, dominos and balls and then apply a huge range of colours and textures (brick, wood, grass, cobblestones, dominos, fabrics, foliage, billiard balls and more)   • Build: with the base set of blocks provided, virtually any kind of construction is possible: from simple structures to epic mansions, crazy creatures, colossal towers, monumental bridges and magnificent AR sculptures.   • Play: create your own games as real physics are applied to the augmented reality world – you can give your objects a “Prod” and watch what unfolds as the dominos and balls react.   • Replay: re-stack your blocks and replay your Prods at your leisure   • Save: save your progress and pick up where you left off on your return to the app. There is even an autosave in case you forget!   • Videos: record movies of your AR creations and Prods and share them with friends   So what are you waiting for?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block My World at none against Exploration Lite's 19. Block My World also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Exploration Lite's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 46%) and ratings volume (23K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Block My World holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exploration Lite has 23K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Exploration Lite's written reviews are positive against 46% of Block My World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Exploration Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, Block My World every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
