ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Waves holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Waves has 58K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Blocks io's written reviews are positive against 61% of Space Waves's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blocks io ships an update every 4 weeks, Space Waves fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
