ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tricky Holes holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricky Holes has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tricky Holes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vacuum Vanquish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tricky Holes ships an update every 3 weeks, Vacuum Vanquish every 6 months. Both last shipped on June 1, 2026.
