ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hidden Through Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Through Time has 1K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Please, Touch The Artwork's written reviews are positive against 45% of Hidden Through Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Please, Touch The Artwork ships an update every 5 days, Hidden Through Time every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
