# Blocks io vs Space Waves

The clearest difference is rating: Space Waves at 4.7 against Blocks io's 4.0. Space Waves also leads on ratings volume (58K vs 19) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). Blocks io's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Waves sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Blocks io asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
