Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cribbage Blitz at 4.8 against Skill Master Championships's 4.2. Cribbage Blitz also leads on ratings volume (689 vs 5). Skill Master Championships's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage Blitz holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Blitz has 689 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Cribbage Blitz's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skill Master Championships's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage Blitz ships an update every 3 months, Skill Master Championships fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
