ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Edgar Poe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Edgar Poe has 3.8K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Edgar Poe's written reviews are positive against 71% of Sherlock Holmes:Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Edgar Poe ships an update every 2 months, Sherlock Holmes:Hidden Objects every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
