ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hidden Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Journey has 26K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Hidden Journey's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bright Stones's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidden Journey ships an update every 3 months, Bright Stones every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
