ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BUBBLE BOBBLE classic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BUBBLE BOBBLE classic has 495 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Cecconoid's written reviews are positive against 73% of BUBBLE BOBBLE classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cecconoid ships an update every 73 months, BUBBLE BOBBLE classic fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
